Sprinkle some cornmeal around their trail .... It's irresistible to them but they can’t digest it so once it kills the queen the rest of the colony will just leave...

Or sprinkle sugar that’s been mixed with anti-freeze…. (Just make sure no pets can get at it though)

Put some decking down over the nest, then you can charge your neighbours to come in and see 'Ants and Deck'

Step away from the flame thrower,,,

You have to kill the queen/queens to successfully dislodge an Ant colony…..

Which is why poisoned bait works because the worker Ants collect it and feed it to the queen/queens who remains protected from most other forms of attack deep in the heart of the nest……
