I usually use a pot of boiling water...pour it on the ant hill...it cooks the ants and their eggs...non toxic, but you will have to replant the grass in that area afterwards. Or you can go the chemical route and use the granule ant killer called Amdro...you can find it at Home Depot.

Diatomaceous earth
Start with some vinegar, put it only on the nest, and step aside. The ants will be coming from everywhere. You can also use ammonia, or ant spray. Check around your house for ant hills, and do the same there. If can get them before they come into the house.
You will be pleased there is a solution that is both safe and inexpensive! https://www.hometalk.com/diy/outdoor/pest-repeller/ants-safe-and-effective-cure-36651130?r=2
