We live part of the year in Hawaii where bugs in the house are
just part of life  .. (unless you care to seal your house in
concrete).

Our findings:

	1) absolute cleanliness.  ants are nature's friendly little
	garbage guys.  they come in to pick up the tiniest crumbs left
	around.  so keep everything totally spotless, and never leave a
	dirty dish in the sink, wash it immediately.  dont leave even
	water in the sink, they come in after water in hot weather.



2) comet or ajax.  this forms a barrier they will not cross. 
sprinkle along the backs of counters, window sills, or whever
the can come in.  yes, messy, but 100% effective.  we learned
this trick from the campers at carlsbad state beach .. which
seems to be a monsterous ant hill for a camp ground.  they
sprinkle rings of ajax around car tires, picnic table legs,
make a moat of ajax around tents, etc .. otherwise everything is
crawling with ants.
