Hi, you might want to try a borax powder which is sold as an ant killer. It is harmless to humans and animals. To ants it tastes delicious and they carry it back to the nest, where it knocks out the whole colony. It usually comes in a plastic bottle with a pointy top, allowing you to squeeze and blow the stuff into small cracks. I've also used it outdoors, keeping it under cover so rain wouldn't just melt it into the dirt; I look for their trails and put it where they travel and they do the rest - worked for me. Take care, Malcolm
