What's this?

Have any of you eradicated ants before?

I’m trying to get rid of these things and don’t care how it happens short of going the Carl Spackler way of doing it.

Supposedly these baits I bought are a slow poison that allows the ants to go back deep in their nest and die, therefore becoming food for the other ants and hopefully getting the Queen Ant.

It’s a slow process and seems the little buggers just move somewhere else.

You guys have any tried and true solutions? All lounge answers appreciated.

TIA

I recommend that you do fire ant dust and prevention in the yard -- HokieHutch 09/18/2018 11:06AM

So he should dust the site from orbit, as it's the only way to be sure. ** -- Late 80s Hokie 09/18/2018 11:39AM

These little bastiges are fire ants. -- YardBird 09/18/2018 11:08AM

Very dangerous. Get a professional company. -- TomTurkey 09/18/2018 11:12AM

Pretty normal in the south. I didn't know much about them until I moved to -- HokieHutch 09/18/2018 3:13PM

Those are fire ants, I use ortho max granules, kills the mound in hours -- fordham 09/18/2018 10:46AM

Dang. So I’m guessing this method doesn’t get the Queen ant, no? -- YardBird 09/18/2018 11:12AM

The ortho max stuff will get the whole mound -- fordham 09/18/2018 11:31AM

In the yard, or in the house? -- JoesterVT 09/18/2018 10:41AM

Yard. I’m using those Terro baits now. I’ve put out 56 of them already. -- YardBird 09/18/2018 11:14AM

No... -- JoesterVT 09/18/2018 11:20AM
