I've had to call an exterminator for other critter infestations, but for ants I've had great luck with a product called "Terro". It's a clear, thick liquid that's available at most hardware stores. Put just a few drops on a small piece of cardboard, leave it where you see the ants (but away from kids/pets) and wait. Once the ants find it, they will "belly up to the bar" and drink up. It's fascinating to watch. You must resist the urge to crush them, as they will carry the poison back to the nest. After a few days, you won't see them again.
