Depending up the size of the colony, they are most likely not foraging for food in your house, but for water. Once the colony reaches a certain size, getting water becomes the critical issue. That would be a good reason why baiting them doesn't work.

They sometimes live in the walls. A professional pest control operator will be able to assess the problem and find the right solution for you. They deal with this daily, including the people who don't want any poison around because of pets and babies.

I worked for Orange County Vector Control on the Red Imported Fire Ant program, and learned waaaaay too much about ants in that 2.5 years.
