I am assuming you are having the problem in the kitchen, if you have a lot of ants in every room then I would suggest getting an exterminator for them.
First you need to hit the store and get Combat Ant bait(works best in my opinion),a can of Raid ant spray and some Peppermint Essential Oil(pharmacy/vitamin store).
Take a rag or sponge and wet it, then put a few drops of the Peppermint Oil(ants hate it) on it and wash all the surfaces in the area you see the ants the most(usually kitchen).
Place an Ant Disk(Combat) next to your Garbage pail( In the bottom of the pail if you have pets or kids). Another one under your sink and one on each window sill in the room.
Go outside (if you are on the first floor)and spray the Raid around the perimeter of the house and the kitchen window.
Don't use the spray in the house as it is Poisonous,not good to breathe(asthmatics) and also leaves a residue that kids or pets might touch.
Hope I helped.
Try Seven Dust. I used this for my flea problem and found that it killed ants too. It is safe to use indoors and on your pets. I wouldn't use it with a child in the house though. (If you have one). What I did was sprinkle it all over my floors and left for the day. Went to the mall and had fun, then when I came home I vacuumed it up and mopped the floors and they were gone! You can also sprinkle it around the perimeter of your house to keep them from coming back in.
Garlic is good for your food prep areas. use cloves of garlic in your cabinets and on the counters. Sprinkle garlic powder on the edge of the floors too. It may smell like something good is cooking for a while, There is a toxin in garlic that the ants dont like and it will drive them away.
