ants don't like deep dishes and I would put their food dishes in a different location (perhaps somewhere higher in elavation) and sprinkle cornmeal where you think they are coming in. Would be good to sprinkle cornmeal also under their dish.
Cornmeal is not toxic at all to them or children, it's cheap and takes about a week or so before you will see them gone. It doesn't hurt to also put a flat lid and a mound of cornmeal in areas you see them.
Good luck~
