I would pour petrol down their hole
Take a small saucer, mix 2:1 ratio of honey and borax. It helps mixing if you warm the honey up prior. Place it at the base of a wall, allowing the ants full access. They will swarm on it and bring all that delicious honey back to their queen.
You're gonna need a whole herd (flock? murder? pack?) of these guys.
this absolutely works. I buy cupcake sized foil pans for the mix. My mix is 3 parts sugar, 1 part borax, 1 part corn syrup, and enough warm water to mix the slurry. You don't need to cook it, the sugar dissolves eventually. I usually cover with foil wrap and puncture with very large holes because it looks terrible to see 200 dead ants in the mix. I have one at my front door and one at my rear door and it took care of my ant problem.
I feel your frustration bro. That terro liquid shit did not work for me at all. So I did a perimeter check and found two bushes nearby that were a source of their nest. Cleaned that area up sprayed it down with ant raid
and did a perimeter spray with this
mainly around the outside of the home but also inside where's there's heavy traffic of food/crumbs. Stay persistent, especially with little bits of sweet crumbs (I have a 5yo). Been about a month now and no infestation. I've noticed only a couple of recon ants here and there but not nearly the level of a goddamn swarm, after a piece of crumb, like before. Good luck, bro!
Ok, so first you get some coconut oil and rosemary buds...
But really, not sure where you're from. In Home Depot, they have these ant things. They're orange, small cylinder things. Not expensive at all. The ants go in there, take the stuff as if it were food, then they stop breeding and die. If you live in a first world location which has Home Depots, I highly reccomend you try this to get rid of the problem. (That's not to say you couldn't do something else like a spray to make a big difference right now - but the orange stuff should get rid of the actual infestation).
That kind is easier to kill, you can follow that ass back to the nest.
