are you SURE they're ants? there is a harmless variety of spider that looks very much like a big black ant - https://citybugs.tamu.edu/factsheets/household/ants-house/ent-2013/ and this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAS3kahu76k
Ants generally enter houses because they're lacking something outside. If you're an environmentally conscious person, find a feed store and get a large bag of diatomaceous earth. Do a fairly heavy border-spread around the perimeter of your house - make sure you fill expansion joints, too. And wear a mask if its windy. Inside, mix the dust with some powdered sugar (to attract them) and place small containers at the spots where you think they are coming in. Put something over the containers if you have inquisitive pets or kids. This will work for a variety of pests.

Hi Nancy, you can make your own ant traps using Borax. It's a common ingredient found in most ant poisons. Here's a video that will show you how - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwIOb5FjY30
