My evil ant-brew:  simmer chili peppers in water.  Put into a spray 
bottle and spray the ant-trail.  Kills some, gives little anty hot-foots 
to the rest and they race out of there toot sweet.  Spray all around the 
areas which are open to the outside, the sides and tops of doorways and 
windows, etc.  The dried residue still makes the footing too "hot" for 
the ants to cross.  Respray weekly.

Sometimes I put mustard powder and other "heat" into the brew.  I'm not 
sure if it helps but it makes me feel like a proper mad alchemist.
