 Do you have the name of that gooey jelly handy?, and is it chemical based.  Anyone know of any "natural" product you can protect your foundation perimeter with.  I have heard that motor oil works wonders but I could never bring myself to do that.  Not enviro friendly, probaby illegal, and  I am extremely chemical phobic.  I probably use a couple hundred rubber gloves a year and that is mostly staying away from anything "chemical".   Yes I know they probably make a pill for that. 
I have had great results with borax and powdered sugar.  I also have some natural borax syrup that works well.  That kills them on the inside, but would like a way to protect the perimeter.
