That Ortho stuff in the big container with the sprayer does not work! Sure it will kill an ant that you spray, but they'll walk right thru the stuff an hour later.

Do they walk in a straight line or like Klein after taking his meal break...

I work at ups and they pay me a good couple of bucks so I've got my own exterminator.

Did you know that ants won't cross a chalk line? Try it purely for the entertainment value.
Feed them corn meal. They eat it. They take it back to their nest and feast on it. They can't digest it and it kills them. Also, corn meal won't harm children or pets.
Wheat flour and dried rice (any kind) also work. Like corn meal, it expands in their stomach and explodes them, resulting in a death slightly less nasty than being boiled alive.
Fill a spray bottle with highly concentrated (3 to 1) soap water. When you see ants, just spray them and they'll be dead on contact.
Apply baby powder on the trail of ants. Ants that come in contact with the powder will die soon.
Mop the floor with about half liter of water mixed with two to three drops of lavender essential oil. That will keep ants away.

Reminds me of my days in the 91st SMS. It was great getting off duty at 1700 and having 4 to 5 hours of daylight left.
I played outside with my dog at 5 am. It was light out. I love this time of year.

Wah
I was told an old school method is to lay a line of Borax powder around the edge of the floor to keep them out also.
Plus if you`re really bored there`s still the magnifying glass trick.

I tried that chalk line thing before. There's always one gang of ants....(the Jets, I think)....that aren't bothered by it. It only works til they lay down their own and crawl over the bodies.
I still rely on a good ant trap from Terro and even just the liquid Terro is effective. Just put a drop of the liquid on a piece of paper, place where the ants begin and their conga line will go through and take it back to the nest and it kills them all. It may take a couple days, but the ants stay in that line and dwindle to none. It works great!

Borax works. Diatomaceous earth is used in public places as an insecticide, especially in medical offices.
