For some reason ants always find their way inside my house. I am looking for a barrier spray or something that I can spray or sprinkle around the walls of my house to keep the ants out. Any suggestions what works?

Are those outside ants or those little food ants?

You may have crazy ants the newest thing to Houston. Are they moving fast and in zigzag, like crazy :-) If the naswer is yes, you got them. They're a pain in the arse to kill

Yes! They are very fast! Is there anything I can do to kill them or prevent them from coming to my house.

I have used Terro liquid ant baits inside the house in addition to treating outdoors. I have tried several different solutions for indoors, and the Terro baits work the best for me.

I've had pretty good results with Terro baits too. I tried Combat and they worked on sugar ants in the kitchen but not on other ants that were coming in from the front of the house. The Terro worked on those, though. I just feel like once I take care of the ants in one part of the house, a new colony pops up somewhere else! So it's been a constant battle the past 3 months.
