In response to cp
I don't have a problem with regular ants, but had a fire ant problem and used the Gardenville Anti-Fuego on the mounds - 1/2 cup per gallon of water as a drench and it got rid of the fire ants. Unless they are getting into your house, they should not be a problem. Because of the mild winter we had, there will be a lot more bugs this season. If the ants are getting into your house, then you could put some DE (Diatomaceous Earth) around your foundation. I even sprinkle a little in the weep holes. It has to be applied after your sprinklers run or after a rain, but the little bits of DE cut into the bodies of crawling insects to help keep them out. Broadcasting a fire ant bait over the property will also help (controls fire ants).
