1. Sugar ants?
:shrug:

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.

3. Jesus. They suck. Been battling them all summer.
Four, count 'em four, visits from the pest control folks. :banghead:

I'm going to try redqueen's suggestion, because the vinegar isn't doing it.

They come for the sugar, take home the borax.
