Wow. I'm not ant-phobic, but the cupboard o' ants would have gotten me!
We've got ants outside the house here, but so far they've made no invasionary moves.
I too started out with RAID, but now I find it way too toxic for my home. I have enough problems with my health without breathing in pesticide fumes. I use Simple Green to clean, and it works just fine on the ants too. So does soapy water, for that matter.
Interestingly, my not-at-all hippie mom has lots of very sustainable garden pest control methods. She told me that the best way to quickly remove aphids from my roses is to knock them off with the sprayer.
