Ah -- you can rent an AntEater at Rentals Are Us

Seriously -- goto google http://www.google.com/
Type in Ant Extermination -- get lots of solutions.
Home Depot and others sell the "Clobber Da Ants" stakes etc.

I don't have a problem with ants in the yard -- poor guys gotta be
somewhere.
But keepin them outta the house is a different matter.

You also might search google for the benefits that certain ants may perform.

Burr, boiling water poured over and in the hills will kill them. Might
take more than a kettle or two, though.

I just lost three cherished Cherry trees to ANTS! And the bastadards (the
ants, not the Cherry trees) are eating my Silver Maple.

I have a friend that is a professional pest exterminator. He came over,
sprayed the entire yard as if he were watering it, and for a week now I
haven't see ANY insects in the yard.

He couldn't treat the tree, but he did place bait for the ants. In one of the
holes he put some granule bait and later when I looked into the hole, I
observed an ant carrying a granule at a time and throwing it out of the hole.
I fixed his tiny posterior by screening the hole with fine mesh, the ants that
were in there can't get out, the ants that eventually return can't get in.
There is quite a pile of ants lying dead on the inside of the screen.

Otherwise, boom, all gone, the wonders of chemicals. Use them carefully,
prevent children, unsuspecting adults, and pets from contacting the area for
the proscribed time, and endeavor to limit the accessibility of wildlife to
the chemical agents.

Regards.

There is 10 times more ant flesh on the planet than human flesh

Are you suggesting we EAT them?
Didn't somebody offer chocolate-covered ants for a while?

In any event, I suugest living on a houseboat.

A few(6-10) firecrackers stuffed into the hole and detonated will get many,
and it'll be fun to watch!

Borax - buy it at any Grocery or Home store...

Also, I've always wondered what dropping a dump truck full of dirt on
top of a Fire ant hole would do. They would surely be trapped. Or
would they?
