We use ant traps. (Not sure actually what they care called - my spouse buys them). In theory they take little pieces of poison back to the colony and destroys them.
We've tried some of the more natural methods but they completely attacked our house in 2005 when we had a newborn - they were EVERYWHERE, and I lost it when I found them in the crib. Now when I see an ant invasion forming we put out a trap and they're gone within a few hours.
I keep one in my car because we get car infestations at work. Lovely, I know. But I can attest that they work really well.
You can always put it up out of reach of the children/pets. They don't smell.
