My husband used to put mouthwash in the water pick. One day we noticed tiny sugar ants, a lot of them they seemed to come all at once. Looked up natural ways to get rid of sugar ants. It was cinnamon sticks and cloves. I put them in the corners of the drawer of the top of the sink, and it worked. I was amazed at how at and how they all seemed to come at once and leave at once and never spread to other parts of the house. Aren’t pests amazing.

Terro, they take it back to the nest and kill all their buddies.

I've had something called "ghost ants". They are very tiny. Your pest control company should be able to get rid of them.

Thought they came from under the slab but never could spot them outside. Terro didn't phase them. Plain old Zevo and Raid for ants and roaches sprayed daily without fail and then Home Defense finally did the job.
Caulk around the perimeter of the toilet base. Pull the sconces around pipes from the walls and push steel wool into the openings, or seal them with expanding foam sealant. Put the sconces back for appearance.

Advion Bait.
I was think Ghost Ants. We had them at our other villa and also at the current villa. Massey took care of them right away, haven't seem again.

On AMAZON ….TERRO …Liquid Ant Baits (12 Bait Stations).
Give it a few days and it works great.

Baking soda or Boric acid you can buy from drug stores, sprinkle on dry. Also, for ants Grits in container
they will take to queen, they drink water and blowup.
