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

Spray any nearby window/trim crevaces with Raid ant and roach spray,
it works great for me every spring. I see the ants in early spring,
after spraying I see numerous dead ants for a couple days, then no
more ants at all. The ants like to walk crevaces near trim so hit
crevace between cabinets and wall too or any passages within
cabinets. Also do outside house perimeter.
