ANTS!!!!

It seems as though this CA heat has drawn in a whole crew of ants into my house.  They started in the kitchen.  Which anyone that knows me knows that is MY domain!  I can not stand that everything is moved about due to these invaders that will not seem to leave.  NOW they have migrated to the living room and are on the fireplace tile.  ARGH is what I have to say to them.  Well that's what I have to say to them nicely put.  Dillon has taken it upon himelf to pound them out, when he finds them.  For some reason bugs trigger something with him and he feels the need to squish them all.  I just want them gone and our house back.
