My father is a commercial Exterminator, and he takes care of this problem 
constantly.  I would suggest calling one because the "stuff" your going
to buy in a hardware store (or whereever) just isn't going to work.

I would suggest the following advice.

Call a SMALL (I emphasize small) Pest Control company and explain your
situation.  Tell them you have a small child and don't want any harmful
chemicals around. (none of the chemicals my father uses is toxic except
for the chemical he uses for termites, which is probed into the 
foundation)      
	
I have to warn you against a BIG Pest Control CORPORATION, because they
often seem to be more careless with their work. (why shouldn't they,
they're after the money, and can afford to lose the few customers that
get bad service.  or I should say the few customers that REALIZE they are 
getting bad service.

If you are stead-fast(sp??) against calling an exterminator, I would 
have to say you're just going to have to wait it out.  Ants are one
of those seasonal pests, and will usually go away after it gets a 
little cooler (asuming it gets cool where you are.)
