Use phenol or dettol and clean the floor. They will disappear in 3-4 days. They can't tolerate the smell.

Baby powder sprinkled in their tracks & find the nest if possible & destroy.
I have used the following food items that work. First my favorite is corn meal. Second is sugar and baking soda mixed together. Pour around nest. Both are the same effect. The ants eat it and unable to digest and die.
Home depot has a sugar ant killer, small bottle you put a few drops on pieces of cardboard, do not remember if it is pet safe. I had ants around my. Kitchen sink and my cat does not go there (to the best of my Knowledg, heaven only knows what she does when I am not home).
