Getting ants in your house is pretty much inevitable. However, if you do get ants in your house, you can get rid of them like this:

mix boric acid, sugar, and water together until it makes a smooth paste. Take a kleenex or cotton ball (cotton is usually better) and soak/cover it with the paste. Leave it in areas around the house where you see the most ants. They should be attracted by the sugar and will take parts of it back to the queen ant. The boric acid will kill the queen and most of the ants, ending the colony.
