I think there are alot of city/country rural/urban differences but this is probably not really one as many country people use toxic methods to control pests.

But I've just never experienced any problem with ants, not with fruit trees or infestations in the house (I use Ross Environmental services and they spray pyrethreum which keeps my house bug free) and structually for the house, any problem with ants would be a problem before the ants, ie they do not cause a problem but may come in when there is already a problem but a yearly visit from an exterminator which is pretty routine would avoid any of that.

But aside from the idyllic picnic raiding where cartoon ants carry away full size twinkies, sandwiches and fruits from a picnic, I don't think they cause many problems. Of course I do recognize that an urban situation may make taking action more necessary with less habitat etc... But on a side note, if you disrupt their habitat they disappear quickly and you don't need to spray.
