I tried this method and the little brown ants that were coming in marched right over it.
It’s not stopping them so am looking for something else.

I also tried this with little black ants and no result.

Oh well, so much for that tip!

Here are some products that definitely work:

I’ve used the orange guard on my own countertops, and it did a good job of repelling ants.
