Have your mom stay a week at a friends house or a neighbors or a hotel. The only thing you CAN DO is call an exterminator! and when she comes back, give her pain releivers for her migranes! Hope this helps...

Chalk, i kno it sounds wierd but it works. ants are allergic to chalk. outline your room or make chalk powder and put it wherever the ants are. don't make a mess. and stop eating or leaving food or candy rappers in there.(if thats what attracted them) $JAZZIEPINK_09$

Well where i live there's this bugmat thing that use electricity and sends scents in the room to kill them.

But on tv I saw it had this bug zapper thing it like sends out the scent jus like bugmat. Try your local store.

You could also probably spray it when your family is out.

just try talking to them and telling them how you feel when they go in your room. If that doesnt help, heres a link telling how to naturally rid them:[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

First try and locate any spilled sugary things in your room. If you find anything clean it. (And don't eat in your room for a while)Then you should try and locate where the ants are coming from, and you could spray a lot of water where they're coming from. Now this sounds weird but it's worked for me. Ants tend to shy away from water so this should work.

Hello Dear!
My cabin in Guam was infested with vermin too.
We did not have any chemicals,so I made my own trap. ** MAKE SURE THAT ABSOLUTELY NO I REPEAT NO PETS COULD POSSIBLY GET INO THE ROOM ** Clear the room of pets, food, etc. Then take some honey or syrup and mix it with bleach. Just a little splash will do. Then take an empty pop bottle. I used the glass coke bottles, but those are hard to find any more. Put about 1 inch of the mixture into the bottom of the bottle. Tip the bottle on its side. Let the honey settle. Then put the bottle (you could make more than one) in your room in the wors spot. Make sure that ants can get into the hole in the bottle. They will go in eat the bleach and die.

The traps work well too, but this is something that you could make at home.

Keep vaccuming and change the mixture every day.

Good luck! Too bad that you can't use Raid it works wonders, child.

Clear out all food, drinks, bath products, perfume, etc. from your room then put in ant traps (the kind where they eat the stuff and die) in the spots you see them coming from...if you need to do something right now, you could put like duct tape over the spots they're coming from, but the traps work better.
