Deal with them outside. You have excessive ants due to numbers or they are being displaced by water/construction etc. If being displaced, make appropriate adjustment. If excessive, reduce their no. You can also bait areas inside they tend to use as "freeways"-anywhere pipes pass through walls. This will intercept the foragers & many times prevent them from looking any further. Monitor these routinely & replace when consumed.
To get rid of small ants in the kitchen, your best and safest bet would be to purchase several ant-eaters as pets. These hairy critters will complete the job of getting those pesky ants!
Note: You now may be wondering how to get rid of the ant-eaters once they have disposed of all the ants. To answer this conundrum, I would then introduce a strain of lions that will hunt down and devour your Ant-eater friends!
To get rid of the lions is just simple. Shot-guns are an effective way of dealing with them, plus you get a nice meal of it. Yum!
Use ant traps! They work really well if you get the right ones.
Ant traps contain poison though, and the last place you want poison is near where you store food. So, a good alternative is to chase them away. Anywhere you see ants, sprinkle a small amount of ground cinnamon. Ants do not like cinnamon and will stay away from it. Once the ants have been gone for awhile, you wipe up the cinnamon dust. If they come back, simply sprinkle again.
If they are in one section/corner of your house, cover some cling wrap with molasses and lay it down on the floor. The ants will be attracted to the molasses and eat away or get stuck. Then spray them all with raid or just let them free.
I would recommend calling an exterminator, or you could get some pesticide and kill the ants yourself.
Buy Raid.
