Answer 1

Its not real fast but boric acid works.  You can get it in powder or gel.  The powder for use outside the house, the gel can be used anywhere(no kids or pets).  You can also get it in containers that kids and animals can't get at.  Check with your local nursery.

Answer 2

Use a mix of cinnamon and sugar. The ants will pick up the sugar, along with the cinnamon, and take it back to their queen. Ants can’t digest cinnamon and once the queen dies from not being able to digest the cinnamon the colony will die without her.

Answer 3

hunt down the queen, dig her up and kill her.  the colony will collapse and you won't see red ants anymore.

It means there is plentiful in your house and in your future. Just use preventative measure that no one sprinkles the food around, if you have to do it outside so they will migrate. The humans and animals migrate to food resources, shelter etc.
