This sounds weird but it worked for me. If you can chase down where they're coming from, put cinnamon in that spot. They won't cross it. I found a corner of a kitchen window and put the cinnamon in there. I was amazed, they were gone. A girl at the office told me about it.

I have an ant problem too and I use Terro. It's a gel like poison that you place on a peice of cardboard. You can find it at Lowe's. It attracts the ant to it they eat it, and take it back to the colony and poison the rest of them. It's never completely clear up my ant situation, but it really helps cut down on them. Plus it help contain the to one spot. Also try following them to the place they are coming in the sealing up that spot.

Hire a good exterminator. They know how to deal with access points and what chemicals are suitable should you have young children or pets in the home.
