Are the ants actually that annoying when they are outside and not invading your home? :)

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

It's my dad that has the problem with them more than me. :)  He's the one asking me for advice. :roll:

Step One: Dig small hole in center of ant hill.
Step Two: Insert one pound of gelignite.
Step Three: Remove self to safe distance and detonate.
Step Four: Ant hill removed, but now shell shocked ants are everywhere and you have a crater in your yard.  But what the hell, it was fun.

Take a roto-tiller to the ant hill, completely destroy it.  And then follow that with a couple pots of boiling water.  That f*cks them up
good and they never come back(to that particular area at least).

What if I put gasoline on the ant hill and set it on fire?

The gasoline alone will do. It will mega-kill them, I assure you. I actually did this as a kid. Funny you should mention it. :P

Ahem, the Borax solution is the best.  Mix Borax with powdered sugar and leave it someplace where you often find ants loitering.  The ants can't tell the leathal Borax from the powdered sugar and take it all back to the colonies crib.  Then, everyone chows down and it's a scene fit for Jim Jones.

For the record, if you have loose soil, you could grow the equivalent of a 70's porn bush for a lawn or mow twice a day and the ants will still live more densely populated than Tokyo or that dirty city in India.  They love loose soil.

I wonder if you can even buy anteaters in pet stores? :|

I was watching TV recently and noticed an ad for RAID foaming outdoor ant killer.  It looks interesting enough.  You think it could work? Has anyone else bought the stuff? :-s
