You could use boric acid. Boric acid is poisonous to ants acting on their exoskeleton and is not harmful to human beings.

best to treat the nest with the liquid insecticide, bait for the foraging ants. Ants will feed on different products different times of the year...some times they want sugars, sometimes they want proteins (grease/peanut butter/meat) Inside use a liquid or gel bait, that the ants feed on and carry it back to the nest to feed others..it can take a few days up to a couple of weeks to get results. If you are able to trace the ants back to the nest itself, usually near the home, a direct drenching of insecticide should kill the colony

Go chemical war fare on them. When I moved into my new apartment there were little lines of ants everywhere. I got the raid that kills ants and sprayed the entire line into where they were coming from. I sprayed around all the floorboards and every edge of the apartment. We are now ant free!

use bug spray. Go to home depot or similar store and ask for some advice. Spray around doors and floor boards and outside. Then leave for a several hours with at least a little ventilation going.

They don't really cause too much harm - I get them every summer.
Go to any hardware store and you can buy something to put down - the ants like it, take it back to their nest and they all die. Only costs a few bucks.

If you want to use natural ingrediants just use salt . put salt in front of the door way down in the grove or inside the window sills the aunts wont go over salt and you don't have to worry about children or pets getting poisoned . if you put down to much just vacume it up
