You could either call a professionl exterminator, or go to a hardware store and buy any of the many brands of spray or ant baits they sell.

Sugar ants need food, shelter and water. Deprive them of any one of these and they will die. Killing them outright with diatomacious earth stresses the colony and hastens the colony's collapse because the young ants will die if workers do not live long enough to bring food back to them.

I recently found sugar ants in my kitchen and found that the best way to get rid of them was with commercial available liquid baits. Bought from a hardware store and placed them along trails after cutting a small corner on the package. The liquid is carried to the queen.
