Hi there! Depending on the type of ant I've had really good luck with terro ant bates. Here's some more info too! https://www.idealhome.co.uk/care-and-cleaning/how-to-get-rid-of-ants-22074
Make sure no open food is out, spray ant spray along side the patio door and windows to the kitchen on the outside.
Diatomaceous earth will get rid of them. If you purchase food grade, it is safe for pets & kids as well. It kills everything with an exoskeleton.

The Very Best Homemade DIY Ant Killer
The ants are such a pest and they come back every year. I use a product called Terro, available in diy stores, it gets rid of them in a day or 2. They take it back to their colony and it kills them.
I use a product called Terro. It works every time.
The quickest easiest Optigard Gel bait Ant killer. Sold on Amazon. A few BB sized dots in the path of ants takes the poison back to the queen. if you don't kill the queen you are only killing the worker ant and she just makes more. I have never had it not work within 1 day. Terro traps take days to work. Optigard will have them eating the poison in 30 minutes.
I have used that Optigard gel and it does work. I found the point of entry and smeared peppermint essential oil as recommended by someone on Hometalk and it worked like a charm.
Use streight vinager we’re they are it will kill them and go around the whole boarder of your kitchen walls to .you should also go around your house with a spray and do the foundation if your getting them inside
Terro liquid bait traps are mess-free and work near instantly.
