If you are dealing with crazy ants or other ants with very large colonies, then we recommend using mutiple control methods for best results. In addition to use bait stations, you may also consider using a non-repellent spray around the foundation of the home that will help transfer through colonies, such as Taurus SC or Advion WDG.
We also sell bait stations, baits, and Advion WDG together in our Outdoor Ant Control Kit here.
Green Way Liquid Ant Killing Bait - 32 oz. is not intended to be put directly into the ant hill and can only be used in bait stations such the Ant Cafe Refillable Bait Stations or the Antopia R6 Ant Bait Station.

The ants that you see near a drain are often there because they have come into the house somewhere else and found the moisture there. So you would not want to use insecticides inside a drain or tub, but you can use the bait stations in our Indoor Ant Kit near the edge of a tub, on a counter, or anywhere else in the bathroom where you see trails of ants.
This kit includes two kinds of baits so that you can appeal to either food source the colony may be looking for (sweets or protein). There is also a residual spray called Temprid Ready Spray that you can use in areas where ants may be likely to enter or trail to help prevent further infestation.
You should check around the plumbing and any other wet areas for moisture issues/leaks or spaces where ants can get inside the bathroom as well.

Green Way Liquid Ant Killing Bait is labeled for carpenter ants.
How long it can take for Green Way Liquid Ant Killing Bait to eliminate colonies can vary depending on the size of the colonies and the number of colonies you are actually dealing with. It can take 30 days or longer. This bait is really more sugar based and ant's nutritional needs change so we recommend also using a fat/protein-based granule bait along with it such as the Advance Carpenter Ant Bait.
Insecticide whether repellent or non-repellent should never be used in areas you are baiting as it will contain the bait making it less attractive.
We have a guide that can also help on how to get rid of carpenter ants.
