It's important to put out enough or you will attract all the ants but only kill some. I've tried the Terro liquid but didn't have much success. The little plastic units seem to do a good job.
It's also important to place the Terro near where the ants seem to be coming in. If they have to travel through the house to find the Terro then some could find other food sources and avoid the poison. You probably can't tell exactly where they come in but try to get close.
We don't try to prevent the ants, we just wait for them to appear, put out the Terro, then wait for the next season.

Sometimes you need to bait several times to eliminate them ,but it will work
