Cinnamon works wonders against ants. Just put a little down where they are coming in. They won't walk on it, and it messes up their ability to follow pheromone trails.

If you absolutely want to kill them for some reason, the liquid borax baits seem to work the best in my area. Just make sure they cannot be reached by pets or small children.
