I've successfully stopped ants from coming into my kitchen by making
an unbroken line of liquid dish soap around the perimeter. Dish soap
is
cheap, alkaline/basic, and ants are acidic. Drop a bit on an ant
sometime, it'll kill 'em dead. Bonus is that it also cleans up
whatever
the scent trail is that they've left behind Apologies for my highly
scientific language there, heh.
