believer it or not.. my mother had good luck with honey.. just a dab on an 
old jar lid.. they still got into the house but didn't get any further 
because they got stuck in the honey.
our local store carries "ant motels" just like the roach motels.. don't know 
any environmental issues but the seem to help.
