talcum powder

find where they are entering the house and any trails they use and put a good layer of talcum powder down.

for some reason most ants can't walk on talc - it plays up with the chemicals they use to "see" and follow each other

don't use an expensive one - I use black and gold unscented baby powder - works a treat.
