An effective way of killing ants is by placing a small dish of slow acting poisonous bait out to the effected area of argentine ants. In your case basically everywhere! The ants love sweet things but mainly honey. The substance in the small bowl will be carried back to the nest by the working ants and given to larvae and the queen which will be eaten, eventually killing all the individuals including the queens and then slowly the rest of the colony just depends how much you put out for them. This may take up to 2-3 days to successfully work. You might have to do this regularly because of the amount.
Home-made recipe:
1/4 teaspoon boric acid powder
3 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon sugar
The boric acid will dissolve only if the water is hot, or one can mix the ingredients cold, then place the container in a microwave oven to bring the water to boiling temperature. When mixed in small quantities, the solution can be stored in a dropper bottle and dispensed as needed to replenish the bait dish. Although the solution isn't particularly hazardous when used in small quantities as described here, the bait dish should be placed out of reach of pets and children.
This formula works by desiccation and laceration. The solution begins to draw water from the ant's body, causing slow dehydration. Also, as the ants or their larvae transpire water, the solution becomes more concentrated, causing the boric acid to crystallize and lacerate the digestive tract.
In areas where the use of liquids or poisons are not desirable, ants may be repelled by ordinary talcum powder (baby powder) which contains talc. The powder does not appear to kill the ants, but they will try to avoid it after contact.
Hope this helps!!!!
