Get some ant spray and one of those tubes that comes with a can of WD40. Locate where the ants are coming in from. Spray inside the entrance for about 10 seconds with the spray. Tape over where they are getting in with duct tape. Also, put a bowl outside with some Pepsi in it. Millions of them will drown themselves. Spray the areas where they have been with a solution of bleach and water.

mix 50% icing sugar with 50% baking soda with water to make a paste. place the paste strategically about on an upside down margerine lid. icing sugar is the attractant and the baking soda is the killer. ants have no way of expelling gas, which the baking soda will create. the gas will make their internals explode. they will also bring some to the queen and when she eats it, the same result will occur. end of problem.

THE BEST WAY TO GET RID OF ANY ANT COLONY FROM WHAT IVE TRIED...IS SWEET N LOW IT MIGHT SOUND CRAZY BUT THERE IS CHEMICALS IN THERE THAT THE ANTS WILL EAT THE SUGAR AND TAKE IT BACK TO THE NEST AND FEED IT TO THE REST OF THE COLONY AND EVENTUALLY KILL THEM SLOWLY BUT EFFECTIVELY...
JUST PUT IT IN PILES NEAR WHERE THEY ARE EMERGING FROM
MAKES YOU WANT SOME SWEETNLOW NOW HUH?

Aritficial sweetener! Can't remember which kind, but it attracts the ants, they eat it and die.
Aspartame, that's the one!

We have a dog, so my wife sprinkles cinnamon around where they come in. They haven't been back since.

my parents used combat, they take the poison back to their colony and it kills them it works pretty well you just have to replace them about every 3 months
