I have used the ant poison "traps", spray, and diacetemous earth. They work for a while.
I took my daughter's cat, so now the word spread that there was cat food in the house again, and they all came to the party.
Right now I haven't seen one in a couple of days, and the cat's bowl is sitting in a larger pan with a little water in it.
The cat food bowl moat works. That's the first thing that they find every spring.
One year my son and I caulked and used expanding foam in every gap that that we could find, sprayed the foundation, used outdoor and indoor baits, and I still had ants. They were entering through a kitchen outlet Car guy removed the switch plate and smeared dielectric grease on everything. No more ants. I wonder if Vaseline would work.
I fought Texas fire ants for 40 years. The hardware store stuff may kill 300,000 of the ants in the mound, but the other 900,000 in there just move a few feet.
Looks like not only fire ants do this. That swarm disappeared overnight like I said but a week later I noticed, on the other side of the sidewalk, an ant colony starting.
Definitely not fire ants, these tiny ants are clearly live and let live. So I dusted their burgeoning development with DE. Just like you said, the survivors simply moved slightly to the right and started again.
Oh well I'll be mowing soon, and perhaps that will encourage them to move on.

Those ant hills are now gone too. Have no idea where they went.
