best to use that TERRA, liquid ant poison. they take it back to their queen who will eat it and it does take a few days and the hardest part is leaving them alone to take it back. you want to smash those suckers, but leave them alone and in a few days they are GONE!
Distilled white Vinegar to disrupt the scent trail they leave for other ants. Wipe counters, walls, floors, entry points, insides of cabinets. Terro makes bait traps, but be cautious of using around children and animals. Sprinkle food grade diatomaceous earth at entry points to kitchen, outside doorways, etc. Reapply after rains. May require 2nd application. All sugars, sweets, salt, flours should be in air tight containers. Keep fruit off counters. Wipe spills immediately (juices, etc.).
I use packaged cornbread mix that says it is sweetened and put it where they are coming in if you can find it, or even on your counter in a small lid. They will take it to the mound, everyone will eat it and die, they can't digest the cornmeal, but will take it because it is sweetened. Little goes a long way.
I spray and that keeps them at bay, but I know they are still in there...eating away, populating and doing whatever little ants do because they occasionally come out ...

Raid ant cups are the best. I keep them on my enclosed front porch.
