We have lots of ant piles in our yard-- maybe 30 in the front and now they're moving to the back. We've tried a few things from Home Deport/Lowes, but nothing seems to work yet. They're spreading fast!

Any experience with this? What worked? Did you call a lawn service or exterminator? We're up for anything. Our 20 mo old daughter wants to be outside nonstop!

Maybe try boiling water in the holes.

I would call Jerry Buckingham (exterminator)- he is the kind of guy who comes by checks everything out, and explains things, and is sensitive to kids, dogs, plants, etc. 973-762-6760 He took care of our outdoor carpenter ants and carpenter bees.
