I do like Scott does and attack them at their nests outside or anyplace they make them (except inside the house). Don't know but maybe they are under your house or near the foundation. What I use is Tempo SC, which I think you can get on Amazon or similar. It's sort of specific to ants. The insecticide is kind of an emulsion which you shake up before mixing it with water. You only use 4 ml/gal. of water. I have a lot of red ants around here, which I don't like making nests in the area around the house. I mix this stuff up in one of those used Ortho Home Defense gallon jugs without the spray hose & hand sprayer. I open the shutoff and dribble it down the nest hole for quite a while. Sometimes a nest might take a cup or two. The next day the colony has collapsed. It works for the little ants too. I use my bottle quite a bit and have had it so long I don't remember where I got it or how much it cost.
