I doubt the ants are coming up from the septic as they would have to "swim" through the p-trap that keeps out the sewer gas. I would look for other entry sources.

If you are having ants in your house,big or small, mix sugar and Borax and sprinkle around your house. We put it in a sifter and go around the house.It will keep ants away.

Hi Janis: What I have used with great success is a 50/50 mix of powdered sugar and baking soda. Just pour it where you see the ants. It's not harmful to pets or kids. Here are a couple sites that may help: How To Get Rid Of Ants (msn.com) Get Rid Of Ants With A Handy Item From Your Medicine Cabinet (msn.com) or Repel Ants Naturally With This Common Kitchen Ingredient (msn.com)

Good luck
