There are two huge ant piles outside of my house. What are some methods/procedures that I may use to remove them? Preferably a home remedy that doesn't cost money.

This one is a simple and easy one! I have the best thing for it. Take borac/boric acid (comes in a small can like baking powder) and then mix it to a paste with water. Add a little at a time until it's pastey. Then pour it in tyhe holes, the ants will die from this. This can also be used in your house with an ant problem. Put the mix on a plastic lid and then the ants will come and eat it, bring it back to the nest and kill the nest! Good luck!

Also--for inside pests-I moved into a home (not new) and first thing I sprinkled boric acid mixed with some powdered sugar around the baseboards. Have not seen one ant, roach or critter for 3 years! The buggars eat the sugar cause they like and the boric acid explodes their little tummies.

well ive heard a couple of things yoou can do,some people say to pour bleach others to put saltine crumbs all over the pile because that will make them explode,or sprinkle cinammon and it will act like a shield but i think what works the most is pure alcohol just pour it wherever they are and not only will the y go away but they wont come back.

in case you took an unplayable lie, you incur a one stroke penalty, and proceed enjoying the hollow. So, particular, you're mendacity 3 for asserting the unplayable lie. it is not important no remember if or not your ball became on the anthill. you are the only decide as to no remember if a lie is unplayable. you may declare an unplayable lie interior the process the golf green in case you decide on. For unplayable lie, you're able to drop interior of two club lengths. So, dropping one club length away became effective. As observed in the different answer, you do not get unfastened alleviation from the ant hill. Your opponent has no authority to %. up your marker. He gets a one-stroke penalty for lifting your ball marker. Sounds to me like you purchased it completely maximum appropriate. What he extremely could have performed is persevered enjoying the hollow. Then, carry it as much as the committee in the past signing his card.

Grits. Pour grits around and on the pile. When ants gather food, they first take it to the Queen. When the queen eats it, the grits will absorb her bodily fluid and cause her to burst. The ants will then die off because they can't live without the Queen.

Pour gasoline on the mound and let it soak in for a couple of seconds, then light it on fire. But be sure to place the gas can far away from the pile when you light it and make sure no gas is on your hands, clothes, etc...
Or, pour a lot of bleach on it.

Once, when I ran out of ant killer, I used wasp spray. I sprayed the whole mound and within ten minutes, it was dead as a door nail... And so was the grass for about six weeks.

Just pour gas on it and let it soak in. You don't need to light it on fire. I never had to do that, plus that sounds really dangerous, especially if it is in your yard. Not only that it iwll really mess up your lawn. The gas will too, but not as bad as lighting it on fire would.

You can get rid of ants by using pest control.
