It seems ants are drawn to moisture.  They build their nest, say under the sink if there is moisrtue,and live in the crawspace and come up to explore. I'd try DE, diatomeas earth.  I'm against any chemicals in the house......but I don't like ants either. 

Good luck

we have to get sprayed since we have scorpions among other things that are far more dangerous to my guys than pesticides.  I keep them away from where he sprayed until it's completely dry, about an hour, and he uses the most pet friendly spray that he can that will still kill the critters.  If you can keep your guy away from the sprayed area for a few hours, that would be ideal.

That puts my mind at ease a bit!

Vinegar and water. Half and Half mix, into a spray bottle. stray it inside and outside your home and around the doors, window etc... This keeps them out of your home and kills them and If you able to locate where the ants nest is, boil some hot water and pour it into the nest, this will eliminate all of them. Here's another tip you can try. Pour some black chili peper/powder where ever you find the ants. They'll carry the peper/powder back to their nest and it will kill them all. Third tip... You can use Borax and sugar. Boil some hot water, mix the borax and sugar togethet in the hot water, again half and half. put in to a spray bottle and spray on. This will also kill them all even the ones back in the nest. Hope this helps.
