Hi Debbie, I use combat ant killing bait strips which says it kills Argentina ants. I don't know what kind I had but it killed them off within 2 days. I also put a couple of them outside where they were coming in as I was sick and tired of them so I was getting serious about it. Here is a link to ckeck them out.

Hi this is Peggy. Try boiling water, but be safe and don;t burn yourself. Good luck.
ground up chalk or DE
pour vinegar down the hole this will work you can see some people have used ammonia and put a rock on top of hole but I think vinegar works better unless you have the big red ants then the ammonia works better . Good luck 🍀
