How to get rid of.....

Hehe. I'm an MSN user myself.

Since the ants are congregating in your kitchen have you considered getting dish washing solutions such as Dawn? It is safe for animals. Vets use Dawn to clean marine life that gets in contact with oil and other harmful chemicals.

Wipe your kitchen (top to bottom) clean with Dawn/water to remove scent and food residue. Any stain or crumb left behind will welcome ants. If you have any food around your countertop place them on a cup and at the bottom of the cup add a plate/dish with some water in it. Ants won't bother with the water. If you have cat food do the same by placing a plate under it and fill it with water.

Seasonal ants do come and go, even in clean houses. If this is an infestation, however, then try the above, clean regularly and go from there.
