Answer 1

Borax is supposed to kill ants.

Answer 2

diatamaceous earth is completely safe and non toxic kills ants fleas etc. buy at feed store or garden center do not use the kind for pool filters  

do a google search to learn more you can even put it on pets food to kill internal parasites

Answer 3

I find ground ginger works for any kind of ant, at least in my region NE. even outdoors, say around plants that they tend to distroy, just need to sprinkle after every rain

good luck

Borax is highly effective with a sugar mixture but will be toxic to your pups...........go with the ginger! can evwen sprinkle it in your beddings pups beddings too

Answer 4

call an exterminator or try to find the source yourself
