The message
from Ben contains these words:

Whatever works or doesn't, the general consensus seems to be that you
can't get rid of them, the best you can hope for is to make life so
unpleasant for them that they choose to move somewhere else, which is
perhaps all you need.

You *CAN* get rid of them, but I only do so when they are being a real
pain, as they do far more good about the garden than harm.

Just get some borax from the chemist and mix it with sugar - about two
measures od sugar to one of borax - and heat it with enough water to
just dissolve all the solids, making a thick syrup. Leave this in
shallow dishes where only the ants can get at them. Bottletops and
similar work well.
