How to get rid of ants
1.Shut down the ant buffet.
The reason ants are coming into your humble abode is because it's a free-for-all (or at least it was at some point in the past, and they're hoping it might be again). The cleaner you keep the house, the less they'll have to eat, and the more they'll look elsewhere for goodies.
2.Squish the scouts
Colonies regularly send out lone ants to check for food sources. If you see an individual ant strolling across your coffee table, don't let it make it back to the nest alive. It'll tell the colony where you spilled the apple juice. If the scout made it back to the nest and brought back some friends, they'll be following a scent trail, single file. Unless you're ready to bait them as described below, kill them all. Quickly.For a less hands-on solution, vacuum them all up, then vacuum some talcum powder or diatomaceous earth to finish them off.
3.Kill the queen
The best way to get rid of ant is to destroy their source, the ant queen. It produces a large number of ants and killing it will exterminate them. You can find the queen inside the ant nests -- it's rather shy and will hide in the bottom.
Don't use insect spray , inhaling it is really bad for you and your home..
The last one gives me goosebumps.
