Ant bait:  our local garden guy recommends a home brew mixture of equal parts 
powdered sugar, powdered dry yeast and Borax - ask at your drug store (not 
Boraxo the hand cleaner).  Scatter it where you see the ants and they carry it 
back to the nest to feed the young; evidently the ants can't separate the good 
from the bad.  We like it because it can be applied directly to any surface, is 
not a messy application and is easily cleaned up when the ants are gone.  

We've used it several times and it seems to work really well.

Liquid Ant Bait. Ants consume the liquid and return to the nest where they pass 
on the bait to the rest of the colony.

Just keep some Terro inside the electrical boxes.  Can't imagine the wildlife 
peoples having  an issue with that, not they would ever know.
