P.S. We live in the South if that helps.
Little ants everywhere outside! In flower pots, crawling up my birdbaths, on bricks! Driving me crazy!?
Get some boric acid (my favorite!). Dissolve it and some sugar in some water, put it near your intruders and bye-bye anties. I live in North Carolina, and it works here. Check out this website. It has many, many ant-fighting ideas:

Reply:You don't belong in the countryside, you should go back to the city, and get plastic flowers surrounded with toxic chemicals. The countryside is for nature, not toxic chemicals and people who can't tolerate nature.
Reply:sounds like sugar ants to me, if theyre fire ants even worse, but my suggestion to you would be to either hire an exterminator or find the nest yourself and pour poison all over it and then spread poison granules over the rest of your property.
Reply:Put Terro baits around your house. They work well.
Reply:If they're fire ants, we've had luck with "Over 'n Out" so far (Texas).
If they're other types, there's a powder from Ortho, I think it is, that we've had luck with in spreading it around. You'll probably need to do regular applications with it, though, to keep them at bay.
Good luck!
Reply:Terro ant killer
Home depot or Walmart
Reply:take some spearmint leaves and water and puree them in a blender. Then get a mist sprayer or a 20 gallon hose spray and drench those little ants and make sure you do this several times and always have some on hand for another time - This works I have tried it and now they are gone!
