Answer 2

I can help but need more information , what part of the country do you live in and a description of the ant do they sting  color and size, in millimeters if possible. Try to keep the dogs waste picked up and don't leave extra food out for the dog feed him only what he will eat.

I sprayed mine with dishsoap diluted with water,that killed them immediatley,but i hear borax kills them and decomposes their bodies from the inside out.

Answer 4

Buy diazanon or an anteater.  Best of luck with getting rid of them!

Answer 5

When I was lil' I would try and drown them with my juice.

It never worked, but you can try.

Answer 6

Instant Grrits....sprinkle them around the yard. The ants will take them back to the nest and the other ants will eat them. Once the saliva and grits mix the ants swell and die. Sounds like a horrible thing but it worked with fire ants.
