It seems every year at this time the ants make an unwelcome visit inside the dwellings around here. I don't know the species, but this variety is very tiny. And if I'm not mistaken, the inflict a sharp bite on skin (yesterday I felt an "ouch" between my fingers and found an ant present in that same spot).
Last year, after internet research, I made a sugar water/borax bait. These ants never touched it. They prefer meat/protein over anything sweet. If the dogs leave some dry kibble behind in their feeding bowl, these ants are all over it. And if a dead insect is in the area, they climb all over it and sometimes try to drag it away. So the battle begins.
