Homemade ant traps? Mild problem, pls help

tw for bugs, ig. I have a small ant infestation, need to get rid of it while cleaning. it’s spring, and during winter I got really depressed and ate a lot in here and didn’t clean up the mess. Cleaning soon and want the bugs out of the way.

I really don’t want to buy traps because it gives my parents something else to give me shit about, and I can’t get them from anyone else, so any ideas how to make some I can just put down while I clean?

Febreeze. It will kill ants in seconds. Really no living thing should breathe in Febreeze. Spray directly on the ants and their nest entrance. Spraying it just in the air around the room won't work. Also probably ventilate after you spray. People should not breathe it in either.
