Please Tell Me I’m Not Alone – How Do You Get Rid of Ants?

I'm being overrun with black ants!  I swear I feel like I live in squalor. I don't. I mean, it's close...but I swear I don't!

Here's my best defense so far.

I think the Raid traps are working. I was killing ants left and right last week, and this week, I'm killing them here and there. I don't know why, but I think that sentence is very funny and I'm giggling.

Is there something else I can be doing? Do you have ants? What do you do? Do I need to face reality that I live in squalor? Help!
