No problem. Boil about 3 cups of water. Add 1 cup of sugar, and 4 teaspoons of powdered boric acid (you can find in hardware or drug stores).

After dissolving the boric acid in the solution, let cool. Then put it in a bottle cap or something small - and where the ants will eat it. Keep away from pets and children.

Let the ants eat it, they will take it back to the nest and feed to the queen and larvae. It kills the entire nest in 3 days to 2 weeks.

The hardest part is letting the ants eat it, and go - without killing them. But it works!

The black ant is a carpenter ant and they love eating wood. Get yourself some Raid or another similar product for black ants. If you know where they are living, saturate the area, get very close to the walls and try to get the spray under the molding. You wouldn't want them around. They also are biters if they get the opportunity.

Apply 10% bleach, rest water in a pump spray container wipe area most effective (ants seem to be more active).Spring time apply pesticide outside the entire wall of the home, any any hills spray heavy. These ant are call CARPENDERS ANTS. Alway keep food area clean and properly sealed. You might need to spray Pesticide on lawn, for 3 times thoughtout the year, they travel 3 miles from where they started from. Continue this for one season

Ants become a nuisance when they enter homes. Instead of spending money on costly pest control, you can get rid of ants by removing the food source and using soap water.
I found the information at http://www.pests.in useful.
