g'day janet,

try borax with sugar, icing sugar or honey, you can dissolve the
sugars in a bt of water with the borax or use them dry. place the
baits in jar lids on the ants pathways these take time to work as the
mix gets taken back to the nest where it is fed to the queen and the
young and they die the nest should ten die out.

this should help with the little ants not sure about the bigger ones.
also there are ant recipes on my remedies page.

also running water into their nest (if you can find it) for 3 or 4
days should make them move on hopefully out of your yard.
