I've been having a problem with ants making their way inside my metal building, which is on a concrete slab. Unfortunately, since the inside is framed and drywalled, I can't access it from there to seal up the entry points. I've tried various sprays, but nothing seems to work. I'm considering peeling back the first layer of metal to apply some rubber sealant. I'm looking for better sealing solutions or any effective ways to keep these ants out. Any ideas?

I've had success with Terro bait. It works wonders! It attracts the ants and they take it back to the nest, wiping them out. Also, mixing equal parts of borax and sugar into a paste works like magic. Just place it nearby and let them carry it back. It's super effective!
Using ant traps can be really effective. They might take a bit of time, but they're usually worth the wait! Just place them where you see the ants most often.
Opt for bait traps! These have slow-acting poison that worker ants take back to the colony, which eventually eliminates the queen. Just remember, don’t kill the workers as you want them to bring the bait back!
