I'm sorry so many people gave you goofy answers. The only way to effectivly treat ants is to infiltrate the colony. Raid now makes a gel that can be squirted from a syringe-type container. The ants feed on the gel for a period of time and take it back to the queen. Unlike any other products that claim to do the same, this one is as effective as it gets. Once the colony is dead, there will be no other ants to move into this area. the treatment of gel goes a long long way. Good luck.

1. Drench mounds with Liquid Fire Ant Control formula - orange oil, molasses, and compost tea mixture.
2. Treat the site with beneficial nematodes. These are living organisms and must be used before the date deadline on the package.
3. Go organic and use the entire basic program. The biodiversity of microbes, insects, and other animals is the best long term control.
Liquid Fire Ant Control - mix one part compost tea, 1 part molasses, and one part orange oil. Mix at 4-6 ounces of the concentrate per gallon of water for treating fire ant mounds.

Absolutely! I have the same problem and just got back from the hardware store where i bought this clear odourless ant killer sort of in the size of a bottle of Dristan. You put down a few drops out of the way and they take the bait back to their nest and will be dead in 7 days... it works inside and outside.

in case you place diatomaceous(?) earth around your domicile (exterior) or around the interior (at partitions), they won't bypass it. seems it truly is made up of floor shells and cuts in the process the ants outer skeleton. the different advice i will make is to alter from Raid and bait to try against Max ant bait. It is available in a syringe sort applicator and you in user-friendly terms ought to place a small dot of it close to the ant path. They flow loopy for it and then take it back to the colony. We used it at Christmas while one in all my teenagers wrapped a brownie and positioned it under the tree. Had ants everywhere - some drops by making use of the line of ants and interior of a million/2 hour, they have been throughout it and day after in the present day, they have been long gone!

You need to attack them on two fronts. Inside and outside. A good pesticide placed around the perimeter of the outside keeps them at bay, while a spray around the inner perimeter keeps them from expanding in there numbers. A "Terro" type bait will also be necessary to eliminate the queen.
Hope the best for you and yours,
Lonnie

Buy some ant baits from Home Depot and place them around where the ants are. Two days later, at most, they'll all be gone!

Mix Boric Acid with some food they like--depending on what kind of ants they are. Some like sweet, some like protein. They eat it, take it back to the nest, others eat it. Ants are cannibals. When one dies they will eat it. The whole nest will be poisoned.

Set out a product called Terro. They take it back to the nest and eat it. Kills them all in the nest. Problem solved.

We had a SEVERE problem last year. Borric acid was the best remedy we could find and you dont have to worry about it harming your pets. Put it along their trail and they carry it back to the nest and when they groom each other they will die. GOOD LUCK!
