Every year we get some ants as we are on ground level. Some years we're proactive, and some years we're reactive 
In any case, I came home to some ants this afternoon.
What can I do to truly get rid of them completely that is still safe to use around a crawling baby?
I'm not looking to sprinkle cloves around and the like. I need a real solution.
Thank you!

there is some dust something (ground shells maybe) that is no n toxic- so safe for babies, but cuts up the ants. My in laws use it with great success and my family tried it last year and it worked really well. Ill get the name for you.
Here you are

Thanks so much!
I see they have a food grade version.
How do you deal with the dust? Where do you put the powder? How much?

You can put bait traps or gel in places your baby can't get to. You can also call an exterminator to spray around the outside of your home to keep the ants from getting in.

Get --Diatomaceous earth--. It cuts the ants' outer shells. For humans it is completely safe. Spread it around the border of your rooms with an ant problem, or all around the outside of your house.
