Especially on the window sills.

I fear they will proliferate if I don't get rid of them now.

Any tried and true method for eradicating them?

I prefer non-toxic methods.

put vinegar in a spray bottle & spray every edge of where they would possibly come into the house from ... repeat every 3 weeks

Salt water is also a option, just make it very salty

It's toxic, but localized. Get Combat ant trays. They are small circles and the ants go in for a bite and take the poison back to their home and share it so it kills the colony. Gets rid of them in a couple of days if you put a couple along the paths where the ants walk.

Terro bait traps

They take a few weeks to work, but definitely help. I either buy at Home Depot or Amazon, about the same price.

Safer to use than other products because just made from Borax.
