You can eliminate them naturally using the following.

White vinegar

Spray the areas prone to ants with vinegar. Ants don't get well with the scent from vinegar and this will act as a good repellent to them.

Sugar and baking soda

Mix equal amounts  of sugar and baking soda and place at the area with ants. Ants like sugar so it will act as an attraction and the baking soda will make them suffocate.

Garlic

Garlic is beneficial to the health of humans but is an enemy to ants and some insects. Place a well pilled garlic clove at a place you suspect them to enter and you will never see them.

Baby powder

The smell of baby powder is an enemy to the ants, so sprinkling it to an area where they reside will totally repel them.

Soap and water

Mix water and soap to foam a soapy solution and sprinkle it around the areas where ants are occupied to get them away. Better still, you can use the liquid detergent

Lemon juice

Squeeze lemon fruit to obtain the juice. Spray it at the ants and the citric acid in it will make them die.

Salt

Sprinkling salt in areas affected by ants will make them vacate the area immediately. Salt makes the ants dehydrated and in the process of losing water, they will die.

Boiling water

Boil some water and sprinkle on the anthills. This will kill the ants and the eggs in the anthill completely.
