How do you get rid of argentine ants?

I live in Florida. Before I had Argentine ants (little black ants, bazillions of them) I had Fire ants. Fire ants are not very nice Ants since they bite and like to wait until several hundred of them are halfway up your pant leg so one of them can give the signal so they can all bite at the same time. I don't see any way of getting rid of these little guys, but I can say that since they showed up, the Fire Ants are GONE. The Argentine Ants are the Fire Ants enemy and did a fine job of wiping them out.
