Best way to get rid of ants?

[Salsa]

The ant sand has worked well outside, but we have are having terrible influx of them inside. We used ant rid, a sort of poison honey, but I dont think its workin that well. There must be loads of them under the house or something?

if I owned this house I would pay for a fumegator, but since we dont and I really hate dealing with our useless agent plus we are only here for about another 6 mths, I hope we can treat the problem cheaply ourselves.
Any other suggestions for inside ants?

talc can sometimes work, if you dont have pets inside?

Pet anteater or echidna?

If that wasn't helpful, at least give asking the agent a try. You can write a letter, then call and ask if they got the letter, then a week later if nothing's been done, ask to speak to someone else.
Ants in the house is not okay - stress the whole 'not okay because we have kids' and whatever other argument you can think of.

Do you know where they are getting inside the house from? A layer of talcum powder along a door entry can stop them- they don't like the feeling of it on their feet. Or if you don't know how they are getting inside, maybe try running a strip of ant sand all the way around the house- if that is possible.
Is there anywhere in particular they are making their way to, or are they just wandering all over the house?
