Oh, and in reference to boric acid - if its fine enough, they wouldn't want 
to cross it, like the talc idea.

But for poisoning, I found it only works on some ants. I just went to battle 
with ghost ants which evidentally have satellite nests all over so its very 
hard to poison the entire colony.

The boric acid usually has to be mixed with something they would want to eat, 
not just straight. Ghost ants are picky eaters (or so I read) and for the 
most part they seemed to avoid anything that was tainted. Smart little guys I 
guess.
