I have the worst infestation of ants, inside and out, that you could ever
imagine. I've bee using Terro Liquid Ant Baits, which the ants LOVE but I
keep putting out more and more baits, which just get eaten up, with very
little noticeable change in the ant population.
I have ants all over in every square inch of my yard, plus I think they have
made nests in the walls or something because we get them everywhere,
including upstairs.
I am talking about the little black ants that like to eat sweet stuff.
Any suggestions would be truly helpful.

Find some granular Diazinon. Spread it according to the label and
water it in -pronto-. If you see nests give them extra.

Keep kids and pets off till it has been irrigated.

Get a few bottles of Grants Kills Ants ant killer and put some of the liquid on
pieces of paper or foil so the ants can get at it easily. Foil might be better
since it wont soak through and stain any surface. Put the ant killer around
where there are ants but where no pet or child or rain or wind can get at them.
The ants should fully notice the baits within an hour if there are ants clearly
visible in the area. I have not seen any ants after a few days. They all crawl
back to their home and die. If the mothers eat/drink the bait they will feed it
to their young and kill them too.

I love Grants

For inside the house I have had success with ants with the ultra sonic
devices. In my kitchen I had used just about everything on the market,
sprays, traps, baits (including peanut butter or other sweets mixed with
boric acid), but they (the ants) would always come back within a few weeks.

The brand I use is made by Sunbeam, Model SB125, Ultrasonic Pest Repeller. I
got 6 in a package at Costco for about $25. I put 2 in my kitchen because
that was where there were more ants.

By the way, in Florida, they have discontinued use of diazinon because they
have found it in the ground water. There are some good replacement products
that have a shorter active period. I used diazinon for years (alternating
with malathion and other sprays/pellets) and it works great. In Florida, it
probably takes surface water less time to reach deep well depth (100 -
300').

Will ultrasonic devices bother my housepets?

I don't "think" so, but just to be safe - read the product label. I seem to remember the package saying something about not bothering cats and dogs, but my mind isn't like a teal strap any more... I mean a steal trap...
