    I spray carburetor cleaner on the mounds. Attacks the exoskeleton.


    Another option. I use this in the home also.

    Hi Shelia. Pour equal parts of water and white vinegar into a spray bottle. Use this to spray on anthills and everywhere you see the ants. Ants hate the smell and taste of vinegar.

    For permanent results "feed" them with ant bait that they take back to their colony. It takes about a week, but it kills most of the horde. Repeat when the bait is gone. Personally I like the gel ant killer because I can apply it to surfaces that don't get rained on like the bottom of elevated flower pots or tree trunks. Also applying it under something helps prevent pets from licking it.
