What's the least painful way to get rid of ants permanently?

Been putting off getting rid of ants permanently for months and finally started this weekend. Does it need anything special, or is it just patience? Any help appreciated.

Bait, not spray. Spray kills the ones you can see and the nest just sends more. Gel bait put down on the trail gets carried back and takes out the colony, but it takes a week or two and you have to leave the trail alone while it works, which is the hard part. After that, seal the gap they were coming in through.
