Get some ant bait gel Alex. They eat the gel, bring some back to the nest to feed the others and the queen and the whole colony dies. Works great!

@tommyr, I been making my own Tommy, using liver pate and boric acid, sugar works too but I find some ants prefer the meat. I shot a video in the subject for my channel but the cicadas were making so much noise that it blasted my audio and made it sound like I had bad mics... blooming things are loud as hell in summer. so I scraped the vid.
