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????

If you can find Malathion, Daizinon or Liquid Seven that seems to work for me. First 2 have a strong odor but dissipates after a few hours. (NLA chemical would be Chlordane termiticide, NLA for over 30 years but was great). Demon MAX (available on Amazon) should also work. Make sure you spray around all plumbing where it comes through the walls AND where your main shut off is, typically found in the garage. Typically they follow the plumbing. Hope this helps.
