We have them crawling out of the walls in our house. Right now when we use the bathroom I see them on the ground. Today is my opportunity to deal with them, and will be using the Chinese chalk, which you can buy on eBay. We also have the ortho stuff and will be spraying the perimeter of the house, but I think we are placed directly over a giant ants nest

Chinese chalk? I think there's a nest under my house somewhere. I can get rid of them for a while but they always come back and have to go back at it.
They love my bathrooms. It's strange they won't travel/we won't see them at all in certain areas

borax or boric acid mixed with sugar and peanut butter is what I have always used and had great success with. I fill drinking straws with it and set those out as bait. as was mentioned above they take it back to the colony and feed everyone including the queen and they all die. if you make it to strong though, they will die before they get it back home. which will cause the queen to go into egg laying overdrive. you will know you made it too strong if you see a trail of dead ants.
