I've been dealing with tiny black ants invading my home, and it feels like no matter what I do, they keep coming back! I've tried using Terro liquid ant traps, but they don't seem to be working very well for me. I've read that some types of ants might prefer different types of food, like protein or non-sugar carbs, instead of sugar-based baits. These ants seem to prefer crumbs or even french fries over sweet stuff like juice. Does anyone have any suggestions for better ant bait brands or types that might actually work?

You might want to try Amdro ant block. Just take the lid off and sprinkle it around your foundation. Be cautious not to pour too much out, and make sure to reapply it if it rains. It's best to use it on dry days!
Optiguard Ant Gel Bait is also a solid choice; that's what the pros use! You might find it really effective.
Have you been able to spot where they're nesting? Finding their nest can really help you target the problem directly!
I've had great success with Advion gel. It's really effective for various types of ants and might just do the trick for you too!
I switched from Terro to Advion last year when Terro stopped working for me. It helped a lot! I baited both inside and outside, and made sure to trim back any branches that were touching the house. Bait everywhere you see them!
