Answers:
You can mop the floors with Borax laundry additive. The little ants are often called "sugar ants" and seek out crumbs and such so be sure the kitchen and the floors are spotless at all times. Health Question & Answer

They are most likely sugar ants, in which case mix 1/4 tsp. borax laundry additive in 2 teaspoons syrup and thin a bit with water. Put this in a jar lid or similar small container they can easily access. Small amounts won't hurt children or pets, but I'd use this where it's out of reach.

If you can figure out where the ants are coming in, put down diatomaceous earth -- that will kill any kind of ant and is safe for everyone. Most garden supply places have it and some health food stores.

Ants are repelled by the smell of mint so a cotton ball with a drop of spearmint or peppermint oil at the point of entry will help discourage them.Health Question & Answer
