I have ants. Teeny tiny little ones. I’ve tried sprays, repellents, traps. The sprays only work if I spray the ants directly. The repellants don’t work at all. They ignore the traps. They just won’t go away.
That’s not very encouraging: I’m battling those now. Ive been constrained by kids and a dog so I haven’t want to use sprays…… yesterday, I sprayed the exterior with ant spray, and the interior where they’ve been with clove oil,so we’ll see. This morning there are fewer fwiw
I was finally able to stop a seasonal invasion by leaving out gel/bait. They formed columns to it and were talking it back under the house for like a week.
This year so far no sign of them and all of the ant hills around the yard also seem dead. I think it was a single huge colony.

Have you considered getting an anteater as a pet?

Have you tried boric acid? I originally used it for cockroaches but I’ve also had success with ants (regular ones, not teeny tiny little ones :) ).
Have you identified the ants? That should help.
