Try sprinkling some cayenne pepper around where they're coming in perhaps?

2. Boric powder will keep them away. |
|
Find where they are coming from and go to town in the cracks with the powder.
I had to nuke some ants a couple of weeks ago.

Four, count 'em four, visits from the pest control folks. :banghead:
