White vinegar.
Ants distinguish smells with their antennae and can establish direction and concentration of scents. If a scavenger ant finds food, it will leave marked trails leading back to the colony. The other ants will use this trails to follow the source of the food.
By pouring white vinegar in all of their point’s entrance and any paths that you might think the ants use, you are distracting their scent trails and thus making it harder for the ants to sneak back to the food source they’ve been invading.
You also consider wiping all the surfaces in the kitchen especially in the counters and cooking tables.
