Ants are a constant problem in our experience, I think G's idea of going round the villa perimeter works well, also around window frames.

How about getting an anteater for a pet? They will attack the nest but unfortunately not destroy it completely leaving some of the ants for future meals! Seriously I use talc, they really don't seem to like it. They can be a real pest outside as well as in, have had trouble with our block paving sinking in the front and when the chap came to get it up to relay found it was due to a large ant nest

Good old fashioned method Ellie, the boiling kettle, seen both my Mum and Dad do this when I was a child.
