Twice a year, I spread ant dust around the perimeter of the house and they're gone the next day. Obviously this is for ants coming into the house for food and not carpenter ants. If you haven't had ongoing ant problems, or have recently cut down trees where they could've nested, odds are they're entering the house to gather food and leaving. Spreading the dust around the outside will force them to walk through it...and when they clean themselves "voila" dead ant.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.
