Here's some help from Wiki Carol: https://www.wikihow.com/Get-Rid-of-Ants-in-the-Kitchen I had some carpenter ants this spring and purchased little ant bates that I spread around the house, they seemed to work great and I felt ok using them because it was totally contained and not in a spray form etc.
