Looking for suggestions on getting rid of ants

We simply don't leave them anything to eat. If you are diligent in keeping your kitchen clean, they won't be a problem.

Not always that easy. I've had the little bastards infiltrate unopened--yet clearly inadequately sealed--boxes of cereal. Sometimes the ants are there because of other food sources, like a dead moth under the fridge.

Then there are those time ants come for something one would assume completely uninteresting to ants. A book I pulled off the shelf...teaming with ants, between the pages, in and around the adjacent books. There was apparently something in the binding--maybe the glue--of this particular book that was like ant fentanyl or something.

Other times, ants just seem to materialize from another dimension. Just to say "Greetings human. We were here when you arrived; we will be here when you are gone. Now bugger off."
