I'm told Vim (is that made now?) or a similar powder does the same trick.

Vim and similar powders are pumice with a chlorine-releasing chemical,
and some detergent, so I very much doubt if any sensible ant would go
near it, sugar or no sugar.

That was the idea - sprinkle it where you'd seen ants but didn't want
them to persist. I tried it once only and it appeared to work but I
don't think once counts as a fair trial. ;-)
