You can sprinkle sulphur out for ants.

'zat something I should be able to get at any garden store?

Yep, comes in cannisters or bags. I buy a bag because I tend to throw it out liberally when I see ants.

Also, use it when I go camping to help keep ticks and red bugs off. We prolly needed it at the beach at entmoot. But, what I do is just put my socks that I take camping in a ziplock bag with a little handful of sulphur and shake 'em up good. Seems to keep the stuff from wanting to crawl up your legs when hiking. Dunno if ya'll have ticks and red bugs up there or not.
