Ants are attracted to sweet things, or strong odors, just like knats or flies, like candy, soda, potato chips, or other foods. So first try to get rid of any possible things like that, that could get rid of the huge ant problem. Next, try using simple ant traps, and bug spray. Those work efficiently.

ants are allergic to chalk try putting chalk where ever you think they are coming from.

As others have mentioned, ant traps & baits work well. Though you need to buy the type of bait that works with your type of ants. Are your ants going for something sweet or something greasy? Sweet ants require different traps/baits than grease ants.

Also, in a pinch, Windex (or other ammonia based glass cleaners) seem to kill ants. Spraying that on their trail might discourage them for a while.

traps, repellents, sprays...its all good... you could call an exterminator if it gets really bad they can identify the species of ant and find the hole if there is one and seal it....thats what they did at my house

buy ant traps at wal mart....kmart.....meijer....where ever......or buy ant poison and put it on a small sqare of cardboard, and it should kill them soon. If you have pets, put the traps/poison where your pet can't get them.

'Raid-ant and roach spray'
It kills them as soon as you spray it on them. Works greats.
