I don't mind the ant hills forming which are yards from the house, but woe be unto the ones which think coming inside is a good idea. Hubby was getting eaten alive while watering the critters the other day, and they swarm my milking parlor table if they detect anything edible in the area. So we sprinkled a teaspoon or so of Amdro near the trail of ants and they go crazy for the stuff. The next day they're gone. I don't know what Amdro is made of, but it sure works great. I'm one that gets huge red welts from ant bites, so I'm glad to have found a product that works (still feel guilty for using poison, hah).
