What has worked pretty good for me with red ant nests is to wait until I am changing oil in one of my vehicles. While the oil is still quite hot I take it to the ant hill in the drain pan. Then I dig out a small depression in the top of the ant hill and pour the hot crankcase oil into the depression. Then I leave, because the ants will be angry and in attack mode.
I don"t know if it kills the ants, or they just leave to build another ant hill somewhere else, but I have never had to do this to the same ant hill twice. When I check the pile a couple of weeks later, there are no ants.
And in a couple of years, that spot is greener than the surrounding grass.
It only takes a gallon or two of used, hot crankcase oil. Just don"t tell the epa what you did, or some busybody will certainly have a COW! Good luck.
