I have also used "COMBAT ANY KILLING GEL" and "ADVION ANT GEL". The instructions for COMBAT and ADVION suggests that you spread them in the areas where the ants are found and DO NOT us any form of "repellent". I have tried both of these gels, which come in hypodermic devices, by squeezing a line at the tops of the basins, under the granite counter top. I also spread the gels under the sinks where the water pipes come out of the walls. Nothing is stopping the ants. My next door neighbors had a professional extermination company treat their house for them and it got rid of the ants.....for one week and then they were back with vengeance. Oh, too, I have also spread insecticide all around the perimeter of the house. Got any suggestions? Maybe a blow torch????

We had them too. Deans does our yard so came out and took care of our ants no charge. He says to never spray but instead use the traps where they carry the poison back to the nest. Couple weeks later there were still a few in the guest bath. He came back and put the product on the outside of our house where the bath was. He said sometimes they have a nest by the house and will come in just looking for moisture. It is not unusual for there to be multiple nests. They love sweets and toothpaste. No more ants.
