Default Is there anything that ants can't crawl on?

We've been keeping ants away with Hot Shot Liquid Ant Bait. You want
to get them to take poison back to nest to kill colony otherwise if
you keep them away from one food item they'll be foraging around for
others.
Also a good idea to treat house foundation outside.
