How do I get rid of them for good. I have done my due diligence. I put taro bug repellent down and I have used bay leaves. It’s been a week and it is finally a little better. I have this every year around this time but nothing Like it is this year. There was a line from the front door to the kitchen two nights ago. Amazing little critters. Just wanted to check in and see if I was missing anything. Thanks for your time

Caluk all cracks in your foundation. Fill in holes with steel wool.
I used borax on swarming ants a few years back... they quit swarming immediately, and never came back!
They were on an exterior wall, so I hosed it down and "threw" borax powder (the laundry detergent type) onto the wet wall... it stuck long enough to do the job.
We used the Hot Shot Natural Home Insect Spray. It took care of both the tiny brown ants and the big black ants. It also is safe if you have pets. The lemongrass oil is the main ingredient that kills them.
Thank you so much I really appreciate it
Your welcome, we bought ours at Lowes but you can buy it in Amazon also.
You can also use a mixture of Boric Acid and water. Put the solution on a few cotton balls, I then put these into an old jar lid and put under the sink. If you have pets be sure they cannot access the cotton balls or the mixture, it is poison, but it does work.
