The trail of ants is not normally a serious problem but can nevertheless be irritating, unsightly and/or unhygienic. Ants do not commonly infest houses throughout the year but they do forage into houses sometimes.
The traditional cures involve killing the whole nest by pouring poison or boiling water into it or by using a slow acting poison (borax) mixed with food (sugar) that worker ants will carry back and distribute.
Most people are reluctant to use poisons to get rid of ants simply because of the fear of the poison being ingested by children and pets. There are natural ways in which you can kill ants without posing a danger to members of the household. You can use baby powder, soap, black pepper, bay leaves, cinnamon and diatomaceous earth to control ants in and around your home.
Ant Control Solutions:
Disrupt ant trails by placing pungent scents at key spots, such as entry points and around unavoidable enticements like houseplants. Just strategically sprinkle dried or fresh herbs, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, chili pepper, bay leaves, rosemary, spearmint, catnip, and sage. (Use whatever you have around.) Or make a spray by brewing any of these herbs into a tea; diluting their essential oils in water; or warming orange peels in water. (The latter has become my current favorite.)
Block their entry point. Follow the ants' trail back to where it enters the house, and plug those holes with caulk or toothpaste.

Give your carpet's dirtiest spots and spills attention first. Here's the thing about carpeting: the plush, dense fibers we love to feel underfoot are also really great at clinging to dust, dirt, smoke, pet odor, and whatever other grime comes through the door.
