Ant Hills, how I hate them!!
 

I've a couple hills at my cottage lot, and looking for a good way to be rid of them. Any help would be great.

Everything was sorta OK 'till I moved a shed to my lot and had to dig up a bit of one hill..... Man did that piss them off, now they are running around everywhere. Help

Amdro works pretty well for me.

can you sprinkle boric acid. I hear that will grind up their bodies as they walk on it and take it back to the nest.

Was +/- on ants until a few years ago when I noticed a new-ish Swamp White Oak was growing a LOT better than others of the same age. Looked close and found a bunch of black garden ants running all over the thing. I was a bit worried but left the colony at its base alone. Well, it's still going and another colony has shown up at the base of a nearby Burr Oak. Now they are both doing too well to change anything. YMMv.

I've seen a bunch of those sorts of videos. The weird thing is that the "fire ants" that we have here don't make that kind of ant-hill.

Around here they make a huge mount with many, many, many entrances/holes.

+1 on Amdro but you must keep it dry.

How about an M80?

I have a paver driveway and certain times of the year (including now) the ants build little sand hills between the pavers. I need something to sprinkle on the driveway and sweep into the crevasses between the pavers. Is the Amdro a powder?

Get some Taurus SC. Mix it up in a backpack sprayer. Takes a week or two but will keep your yard clear of ants for a couple of months.

It works!

Salt, I get huge piles of red, carpenter, and lovely termites this time of year...I wonder why those pest trucks are driving around at 3am in the morning....Hmmmm...drumming up some business?

My brother just embraced the suck and buried a fifty pound bag of sugar about ten yards from his house. Claims he hasn't had any in his home for five years now.-WW

Too bad Chlordane was outlawed...

Amdro is granular.

Yes a bunch of airborn angry fire ants DOES sound like a good idea. :D

+1 on the Amdro. It takes a few days, but will wipe out the entire colony.

It's granules, a little bigger than sand. It would probably work for most pavers as you describe. I suppose if yours are REALLY tight, it might not be small enough.

That's what I was thinking. Make sure you use a piece of pipe/conduit so you can get it several inches down, and get maximum distance and volume of ants flung into the air.
