The only way to get rid of ants is to kill the queen. The more ants you kill, the more babies the queen produces. And bait is the trick.. Go to ACE Hardware and ask them which kind to use for the ants you have,
I had sugar ants in my home in FL. I had to place the boric acid bait out for two weeks twice. But that got rid of them. During the process I had a stream of ants feeding. Then they went away. Did basically the same thing in the yard with fire ants, only used the expensive fire ant bait.
Nothing works fast and you have to keep your dog out of the yard until they are gone. Anything you do to disturb the nest just makes them move.
