The source might have been just a breeding pair, and when it winds down, we forget to keep setting the traps.
My home isn't nearly as old, and I have seen nearly new homes, with the same issue.
I prefer not to bait so they don't die in some area that I can't get to and as they decay they smell.
One of the strangest things I had was missing bait for a while, determined that my switching from peanut butter to crackers and back to have maximum effect led to ants making the discovery of the crackers. So light they would never set off the traps. I fixed that with some diatomaceous earth.
