Ok, so here it is. Ants.. ants.. and more ants! On the floor, on the walls, in the cupboards. I don't want to kill them ( well, sometimes.. before I've had my first cup of coffee!) .. I just want them to play outside instead of in the house. I've been told to put chalk around the outside of the house.. been told to use cornmeal , eggshells etc. I haven't tried any of them yet, so I don't know if any of them truly work.  
Has anyone tried an eco-friendly bug off that actually works? I won't resort to using any kind of chemical ant killer.
