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

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.

I have used those little square flat poison things. The ants think it's
food, and take it back to the hive. They are cheap and for me they worked.
All enclosed, safe.
