The ants have dwindled and dwindled and seem uninterested in the bait
now. I see at most 1/2 dozen at a time, usually 2-3, but always there's
at least one. They are sticking to the trails they were on when they
were hitting the bait heavily. I sponged their trails, but they seem to
know where they were, which puzzles me.

Wipe the trails with a little Windex.

Windex makes for a poor insecticide (yet another ant myth) but
it's very effective at removing/covering the scent of the trails.
