I use a product called Terro. It's less than $3.00 at Lowe's or Home Depot. It works brilliantly!

Cinnamon gets rid of ants. I sprinkled it at the back of my kitchen counter top behind items.

About 10% 20 mule team borax in squeeze bottle with Karo syrup. Mike few seconds just warm enough to dissolve. Squeeze into cracks or areas no one or no animal can reach. Ant workers carry it back to nest. Can take up to a week depending on the number of colonies needed exterminated. This kills the queen and all others. A queen can live up to 20 years, all the while producing other queens. Be patient. this will probably not work overnite.
