We’re noticing them also. Used a new trap last year, but forget its name. Will post back when I find it.
FWIW, I usually just clean up thoroughly wherever I see ants, using my good basic surface cleaners to remove all dust and grease. Then I wipe every surface down with a cloth moistened with a mix of water, borax and either oil of cloves or eucalyptus (both quite sparing as they're strong scents). Go as far back along the trail as your can to a wall.
The oils confuse the ants' 'radar', overwhelming them so they can't communicate and lose their way. Easier to spot lone stragglers and kill them so you're safe for months. I had an invasion just after New Year.
I think it's the mild weather. I've noticed some tiny flying insects (maybe gnats?) in the house, which is unusual this time of year.

Started seeing these around my office and some in the kitchen. Seems like an odd time of year for them to pop up. Anyone else noticing these?
I do have some ant baits around and I do see that they're working. Do they lose their effectiveness after awhile? Maybe I need to put some fresh ones out.
perhaps @author might have an idea.
