Amazing -- just make your house smell baby-clean and cinnamon-y and get rid of pests like magic.

That was me. An elderly lady told me that as I stood in front of the insecticide shelves with a puzzled expression. "What's your problem dear?", she asked. "Ants", I replied. She reached around me to pick up a packet of 'Ant Traps', as she dropped it in my basket, she said, "Stick a couple of those on the walls where they walk, and rub some talcum powder into the shelves they get onto, it sticks to their feet, and they don't like that."
Not sure if it would work with bull ants, fire ants etc, but it definitely works on the little Argentinean beggars we get around here.
