Combat has just what you are looking for. Try the Combat Source Kill Max ant bait stations. A box contains 6 child-resistant bait stations. Place the baits where you are frequently seeing the ants--under the sink, in a window sill etc.
The ants enter the bait station, eat the bait and carry it back to the nest. The ants then pass the bait on to the queen and destroy the entire colony.
Or, try the Combat Source Kill Max ant gel. The gel provides fast control of ants in just 3-5 days. It contains Fipronil, the fast-acting ingredient. The speed is still slow enough for the ants to carry the bait back to the next and feed it to larvae and the queen so that the whole colony is killed through the Domino Effect.
The gel does have a sweet odor so you will want to make sure to put it out where your animals and children can't get in to it. Use it in the window sill, under the stove, behind the refrigerator, under the sink etc.
Here is a photo of hubby putting out at the back under our sink:
I have put the baits in various places, even including under the bathroom sinks.
I really like how easy the baits and gels are to use...and none of that awful smell from using a spray!
Baits and Gels VS. Sprays:
(Information taken from http://www.combatbugs.com/articles/baits-gels-vs-sprays)
1. Unlike spray insecticides, Combat roach and ant baits are attractants
2. The interval between ingestion and death gives ants and roaches the time necessary to carry the insecticide back to the main colony where it’s spread amongst the rest of the pests.
3. Spray and aerosol insecticides, on the other hand, are repellants, designed to kill on contact. While they provide short-lived satisfaction by killing the insects you see, they do nothing to solve the larger issue of a pest infestation you cannot see.
