There is also a product called Terro, a borax powder mixed in a syrup that ants love...we used it to eliminate two nests that were under our foundation and coming into the house and it eliminated another that was coming in from the neighbor’s house.
great product.
I found Bengal fire ant killer works really good on fire ants.
I disturb the nest then sprinkle it on the ants crawling around.
They take it back into the nest and most of the time the nest is dead the next day.
If you’re building a house spray 20 Mule Team Borax on all the wall studs up to about 2 feet. You’ll never see a termite.
