Hi Janet, I have heard of using Boron (Solubor - 50% Boron) dissolved in
water and sprayed on ground -
Not a poison just a element required in some fruit crops.
Otherwise use "Lorsban" kills everything (Poison)

Regards,
Jeff

Can someone please offer some suggestion for getting rid of ants... they
are all over our yard. We have the big black ants that bite and give me a
severe allergy reaction, and there is the little common black/brown ant,
but
they are everywhere. We have used the Hortico Ant Spray and also Ant Fix,
but we don't seem to be having much effect. We've tried borax and
breadcrumbs also, but concerned that the birds will eat the breadcrumbs.
