We appear to have ants. Quite a lot of them. Any tips on getting rid of them?

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

If you mix borax with corn syrup or some leftover frosting of any flavor and form it into little balls you can put these out for the ants to get them. They will eat them and bring them home to their friends and die. Because some ants like fat and I'm too lazy to figure out what I'm dealing with, I mix in some shortening.

I have also heard that cleaning with a 50% vinegar/water solution confuses them by wiping out their scent trails.

I don't remember what my source was, but the borax thing is repeated at http://www.getridofthings.com/get-rid-of-ants.htm
