Someone told me that you can buy crushed chalk (like they use on football fields to make the hashmarks, etc.) Pour it out in a line and ants will not cross it! One of my neighbor's pours a line all around his house and has no ants!

Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Leyes de la Reforma in Bahia Asuncion carries boric acid powder...just picked some up today for a major ant invasion. The little beasties have a penchant for my greens seedlings. Grrrrr. Of course, Bahia Asuncion may be a little out of your way.
