Bug spray just puts a coat of petroleum on the existing ants--there is no lasting pesticide. Put spectracide down their hole and around the parameter. If they are coming into the house through a light fixture, a chalk line around the entrance will discourage them. Also, cleaning up the source of their interest and wipe the counter so that their path disappears.
