What worked for me is Taurus SC [diypestcontrol.com]. It's expensive but one bottle should last you for years as it's highly concentrated. (Add about 1 ounce to a gallon sprayer; the bottle auto measures)
Spray around the perimeter of the house and where ants like to congregate outdoors. In about 2 weeks the ants will be gone.
Taurus SC is the best product I've tried to keep insects out of my home. It brings a tear to my cheap basterd eye thinking how much money I spent trying inferior products over the years; I guess lessons don't come cheap
Active ingredient in Taurus SC is Fipronil

Active ingredient in AMDRO is Hydramethylnon.

Active ingredient in Terro is Borax, which is the mildest of the three.

I think that's too much borax. I tried that ratio before and the ants just avoided it. As in I put a few drops of it directly in the path of an ant trail which went over porcelain tiles (so it wouldn't absorb the water). A few of them investigated it, but when I checked an hour later the ant trail just wait around the bait.
Yes Terro is a borax mix. But I spent a couple years mixing my own batches of borax and sugar water, and coming up with all sorts of contraptions to place it around the yard in ways where it wouldn't spill, leaves couldn't get into it, and the dog wouldn't lap it all up.
That's when I realized out that Terro isn't just a borax mix. It's also a dispenser which holds the borax mix inside. A custom-made dispenser which is far more convenient and elegant than the jerry-rigged dispensers I was trying to make. I now consider the price of these Terro boxes to be the price of the dispenser, and refill them with my own borax solution when they run dry.

Exactly. You have to figure out what kind of ants you have, and what is effective for them.
I had carpenter ants and put these up outside, and the carpenter ants disappeared. (Another person said these didn't work for them with carpenter ants, so YMMV.) I also had some small ants outside (not sure what kind but not carpenter) which seemed to have a huge colony, and I put one of these in that location (since I had some of these in-ground baits), and they also seemed to disappear.)

Not sure of the radius these work in but I used them for a small ant-heavy area of flower bed and sidewalk areas and they worked. I think I changed it out to a fresh one after a couple weeks.
My wife still uses them. She had 5 of them out in the kitchen. Ants everywhere.
Sprinkled ambro ant block around the entire perimeter of my house, like right next to the foundation wall, and dozens of visible colonies were eradicated within a week. We stopped getting ants in the house after one day.
Mine did that too!
Taurus SC also kills many other insects and you are in essence creating a virtual wall/barrier around your home when using it. I spray in late April then again late July and I don't see ants at all anymore for over 2 years now.
Taurus SC seems expensive at first but a 20 ounce bottle should last you for over 3 years. (My bottle is about half gone and I'm on my third year of using it). Ergo, it is the most long-term cost effective solution IMO.
The results have been remarkable; for over 2 years now my home has been ant and wasp/hornet free. I also had some lady and elder bugs in the spring inside my home but that stopped since I started spraying with Taurus SC
Just make sure you respect the power and toxicity of Taurus SC. Don't spray indoor areas, attics or basements. Wear protective eyewear, gloves and a N95 mask. Never spray on a windy day and avoid spraying near flowering plants that rely on pollination from bees as it will kill them and their hives.
