We don't have ants inside, but have red ants and those really small black ants outside. Once in a while I go around the perimeter of the house and a ways away and eliminate colonies. I use Tempo SC, which is an ant insecticide. I think now they have Tempo SC Ultra which kills ants, spiders, roaches, etc. It can also be sprayed from a spray bottle inside along base boards, cabinets, etc. I buy the 8 oz. bottles. They come with a measuring chamber like bottles of Stabil. You meter out 18 ml per gallon of water. I put it into an empty gallon container of that Home Defense spray from H.D. For the outside, I pour a bunch of it down the entrances until it backs up & won't go down anymore. The next morning the colony has collapsed. Maybe not for those who want to use an organic alternative, but it gets the job done in a matter of hours.
