Depending on where they are then just draw a white line ( chalk or otherwise) ..

Bizarrely Ants won't cross a white line

It needs to be chalk... the make up of chalk is what they don't like.

Buy some ant powder, and make sure all surfaces are wiped down after food, as they'll come for the leftovers. They also love sugar, so this will definitely attract them.

Ideally find the best and destroy it otherwise they just come back, or get a toad, I had them bad in a crack in the concrete outside and they were coming in the kitchen, then a few years in a row a toad showed up every summer and stayed a few month and ate them all after a few years neither the ants or the toad returned

As mentioned sprinkle talc where they getting in they won’t cross it ever

We live on top of a huge any colony we haven't found anything that gets rid of them so we tend to cohabit. They haven't come indoors though. If they did we'd use any traps or peppermint oil.

They also dislike peppermint and lavender. A few drops of either oil in water sprayed around the kitchen should keep them away.

Put cayenne pepper in their path.

Doesn't harm them but will draw a line back to the nest.

Then kill the nest with what ever methods are suitable

Talcum powder works to stop them entering. They won't cross it

I find scalding hot water, white vinegar, washing up liquid to be effective.

Maybe not inside though so my assistance is pointless.

I also read if you take a handful of ants and introduce them to a different colony they then go into territorial warfare and kill each other (job done)

couple, us we him her.

Play Celine Dion on a constant loop they hate the sound of her voice.

Incidentally Ants are the most numerous creature on the planet successfully surviving in very harsh conditions and unchanged for many thousands of years.

They are the peak of community living with everyone having a role and working together as one for the colony.

They are remarkable

Do you know their entry point, block that if you can.

You need to clean everything properly. They are only there because they can get food.

"Killing them is not an option

This is the ONLY sensible advice on this thread.

Find where they are coming in and block it off.

If you wait until swarming day ( usually a hot july or august day - they will accidentally swarm INTO your home )

'Also, wipe up several times as day because they usually follow sugary trails e.g. jam, chilli sauce , sugar....... what ever. We think we've cleaned up but really we haven't...
