Default Ants and ponds?

I'm getting a ton of red ant hills around my pond; of course
I don't want to use any ant killer. Any ideas?

Boil some water and pour it over the ant hill. (you can only hear them
screaming in your mind)

This should only be done after inserting Wagner's Ride of the Valkeries
into the stereo and turning the amp to 11 on the dial.

Wow, your amp goes to 11?
Mine only goes to 10...I feel so inadequate.

I had it specially modified by the same guys that modified Spinal Tap's
amps.

No my amp is louder because it goes to 11.

My local organic gardening supplier recommends
a soil drench containing orange oil. I tried it on
some fire ant mounds and it seemed to deal
with the mounds (although others appeared
in other locations eventually). No effect on fish,
but I have a raised pond and was careful to keep
all liquid on the outside and below the level of the
stones capping the pond.
