Am starting to have problems with ants in my kitchen, they seem to be
specifically going after the breadbox which sits on the counter. Don't
see them anywhere else in the house. Is there something that I could
set it on that they wouldn't be able to crawl up to get into the
breadbox? Kitchen is pretty clean, having just cleaned up after doing
some work in there. Cleaning up any currently uncleaned areas would
involve pulling the bottoms out of cabinets etc. Can't see where
they're coming from, although I thought I saw one crawl out from inside
a corner cabinet with a lazy susan in it (great. I'm sure that'll be
fun to take apart.) No food is stored in that cabinet though so that
makes no sense.

An old RVer trick is to sprinkle Comet or Ajax cleanser (or whatever brand
you have) around the trailer jack and/or wheels. Supposedly the ants won't
cross it. I've had mixed results but a light dusting might at least reduce
the ant problem and it's likely you already have some cleanser on hand.
I've also had good results by spraying Black Flag or Raid along the
baseboards and counters etc but I always remove the dog food and water first
and never spray near where the dogs eat. The bug spray seems to be good for
about two weeks or so.
