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????

I live in the Brownwood Apts in Wildwood. I had what I thought were Ghost Ants but the exterminator examined my specimens and determined they were Pharaoh ants. Mine also were in the bathroom sink basins and on top of the granite. He put some food on the floor of my vanities. He told me their nest could be miles away but once they eat, they take the food back to the nest and it should kill them. However, it could take years to get there, at their pace. I still have the occasional few. Not too sure they they'll ever really be gone, but that's my opinion.
