Two things with ants:
1) where are they getting in and 2) what are they after. If you can prevent them getting in that's half the battle(or better yet put your ant bait near their entry point). If you can find what's attracting them that's the other half! We used to have ants in the kitchen and the culprit was the sugar bowl. We now keep the sugar in a stoppered jar and don't have a problem any more. If you don't like using toxic ant bait, talcum powder is quite effective at deterring them - it's very fine particles stick to their legs and they really hate it. Dust it along your back door step or whereever they're getting in and that'll keep them out.

I've heard cinnamon gets rid of them.

Two things which might help are talcum powder sprinkled at their point of entry and white vinegar ( 50/50 with water) wiped over the worktops.

If they don't work at least there are no nasty side effects!

Good luck!
