Spray the perimeter of your house with something made for killing ants. They probably live outside and just find their way in, so spraying around the perimeter will keep new ones from entering.

pretty much what previous poster said.

but really ants arnt really that bad. as long as you keep any sugar or any other stuff in air tight containers like jars and shit then you wont really have anything to worry about. Then they will kill any fleas and their eggs in your house if you have pets. they will also eat any other kinda stuff in your house like some spiders and any termites and all that good stuff. ants are the very best of any insect you could have in your house really. unless its fire ants. FUCK THAT lol. i dont like the big ones in the house either. the small black ones are the best ones.

u cant keep em out.
they come for food, no food, no ants. so just keep your food outta reach.
if u wanna be a badass though, i recomend lizards. get some heat lamps, put them several spots around your house, buy some lizards, and let em munch like crazy.

ps. dont poison em, cuz your poisening yourself in the process. theres always organic solutions to organic problems.

they are just the little black ants, and everything is sealed, its just when i go to make food, if i set something the counter while im cooking the ants will be on it in under a few minutes... its ridiculous.. and they are also raiding my bathroom for the water, i turn the water on to take a shower and a couple hundred ants fall out. fucking disgusting...

If they're actually living inside your walls, you should consult an exterminator. Simple methods aren't going to get the job done.

Though I'm curious. How do you know they're living in your walls? I used to have a problem with ants in my parents' house and it seemed one summer that there were so many ants that they just HAD to be living in the house. It turns out just spraying around the perimeter of the house was enough to eliminate the ant problem.

The spray we used looked like this bottle:

except it was blue. I'm sure it's the same stuff, just a different brand. But yeah, $20 to keep ants out of the house all summer is definitely worth it. Just read the instructions to make sure you're using it right.
