In my former house, every year (in June, approximately) I'd see ants around the baseboards by the kitchen sink. There weren't a lot but certainly enough to be a nuisance. I bought a no-name brand of ant traps from the dollar store, put two traps (spaced apart) under the kitchen sink and within a day or two, they were gone.
Make your own bait! It gets carried back to the nest and kills the queen. Soak a cotton ball in the following solution and place in the middle of the "line" near wear they come in.
Ant Bait

1 1/2 TBSP Borax
mix well

mix well

I was going to an appointment and say a man in uniform spraying something around the building so I went up to him and asked. We couldn't put dog food down - it would be alive with ants in a moment. We couldn't put anything on our kitchen counters - it also would be alive with ants. This man showed me the Ortho Home Spray container with its own wand . He told me to spray all perimeters around the house - windows, doors, walk ways, and also inside . W e did and now, I have no more ants. It is like a miracle product. We spray about every month again and I can even leave our dog food outside in the patio and NO Ants. ORTHO HOME SPRAY from Home Depot .
