Answers:    There is an ant poison called Andro. The workers capture it to the Queen and when she dies so does the whole ant hillock.
You can get it at a hardware store.
Does the amount of soil affect how high-ceilinged...
PEPPERMINT OIL & GRITS are a accurate deterrent for ants that are invaded your garden or home. You can either soak cotton balls next to it or mix in a spray bottle beside water and spray where on earth needed. GRITS sprinkled in the garden are also supposed to be an forceful way to exterminate off ants.
Also, if you sprinkle toddler powder around the parameters of your home, they supposedly won't cross it.
