Ants will drown, die, perish quickly in soapy water. They try to swim and can't, so they die. I keep a container of soapy water in just about every room in the summer. Sprinkling diatomaceous earth helps as well, you can purchase this by the 50 lb bag at your local farm store. Please wear protective eyewear if spreading it outdoors.
