Using the diazanon I created a barrier keeping ants not only out but also in........... Those under the cement slab could not get out... Each time I did it I invited an immediate retaliation by the ants. Now I just go around the house w/ soapy water & spray using one of those lawn garden sprayers you put on the end of the hose.
Not only does it kill them instantly but stays around for a while as well...... In the nests @ posts & cracks in goes right down in & destroys it (kills them bugs dead)... I have not sprayed in over two years & all my neighbors get attacked a couple times a year as the rain & cold start.......
Rumor is the place was built on a giant ant hill.............lol

Yes...spray bleach. I use that intead of Ant Killer because of the dogs. Works well ....except for the occasional time a dark clothing item touches the bleach.
