I have a problem with golphers.  I think they have a subway system underground in my back yard and no matter what I do they seem to thrive out there.  :BangHead:

There is no need to kill ants. Sprinkling some salt where the ants are just repels them and they go away. Live and let live guys. :peace:

Simple grits will kill them. They take the grans to the nest the thing with grits is that when ant's eat it, they can't process it like us & the result is it will explode once swallowed.

Another way is put grind blackboard chock in their nest. They'll surely find another home with chock in their nest.  When ants were going to my cat's food dish,I took chock & drew a circle around the cat's bowl. Like some kind of force field the ants never crossed that white line.  :thumbsup:Hope this helps! :wave:
