Answer 1

I think witchywoman has some good advice, who doesn't want to watch ants explode?  That's not inhumane whatsoever!  It might help you, though, I'd give it a try.

Have you thought about asking your parents to call an exterminator?

I'm not sure how expensive that is, but if they're really a problem, they might help.  I had ants in my house a while back, they're freaking annoying.  I still have some.  We tried using those ant traps, maybe you should.  They only get a few, though, so don't expect too much.

Also, if you see one, other than just stomping on it to kill it, it's always fun to use a cleaning product.  Just spray it on them and they'll pretty much be gassed to death.  Windex, bath tub scrub, and kitchen cleaning spray stuff works great.

I find Raid ant and cockroach spray to work wonders.

But here, someone else posted this, I just copy and pasted it:

"I use TERRO. Most hardware and discount stores have it. Be sure to put it where kids and pets cant get at it though. Place it near the entry point to your home, and leave it. It draws the ants to it, they eat it, and return it to the nest, killing ALL of them. In a day or two, you won't have any more, but keep the bait out until it is too cold for them anymore."

Answer 2

You might want to look out side around the wall where the room is that you see them in . They ar e most likely coming from outside . Your gona have to find the nest and kill them gl

Answer 3

Try putting a paper plate down with corn starch sprinkled on it. Ants take it back to the nest and as they can't digest it they will explode.
