Spill lots of sweetened fruit juices (gallons of) all over the floor. Ants will get attracted to it, and die in the flood.

I used the water/alcohol/dish soap in a spray bottle, and it worked like a charm! I was able to spray it in our food pantry, without worrying about poisoning my family

Borax and grape jelly – maybe 5 tblspoons jelly to 2 tsp borax – you want enough borax to kill but not enough to kill the taste of the jelly – ants love it and the borax kills them – it worked for me!

Try cinnamon, chili powder and pet fresh carpet powder. Sprinkle all over floor in an even coat. Vacume up the next day.

You can sprinkle baby powder around window sills, door frames, etc (also works great in vehicles), for some reason the ants stay away from it.
