Roughcaster, get in the corner and face the wall - you should be ashamed of yourself.
Sorry ee ee Gcol,,,,,, i'm so repentANT.... 
Get some ant traps. They're not traps exactly. They're little plastic things with four holes in them and in the middle is a slow acting poison that the workers carry back to the nest where it kills the queen. 
A few years ago we were plagued by ants. They raided the kitchen every night seeking out crumbs and jam jars with sticky lids and anything else they could find. We had to strain the water from the kettle in the morning to get the boiled ants out.
I came down one morning to find a river of ants two feet wide making its way from the door to the bin and back.
I got two of those trap things and put them down where I hoped lots of ants would pass through. At first the little perishers just went round them but a little blob of jam in each hole prompted them to change their route. They kept coming for the rest of the year but next year there were none. Not only that, the annual swarming of winged ants from our front gatepost also came to an abrupt end.
A few ants still find their way in through the back of the house but the mass invasions from the front are history.

It's mating time (flying ants) happens every year, you may have seen flocks of Starlings on the verges, having one hell of a feast.
I cant see what you are complaining about, round here we have to empty the bins ourselves.I came down one morning to find a river of ants two feet wide making its way from the door to the bin and back.

It wouldn't have been so bad but they were far too choosy about what they would take, almost as bad as the people who take our recyclable waste!
They were quick to take cornflakes but they refused the chicken bones (I didn't think ants were vegetarian) and they completely ignored an empty washing up liquid bottle because I'd left the label on.
