Answers:
you want a quick and easy cheap solution. keep your money in your pocket.
firstly follow the trail of ants and see where they disappear, i.e - cracks in the slabs or where ever.
next get a kettle of boiling water and pour this down the hole or crack,the water will rush through the tracks they have made.
do this a few times and you will eventually either flood them out and kill them at the same time or they will go anyway.
By the way don't use cold water because they can withstand that for a bit. Their hardy little buggers but not to boiling water.
Get a bottle of Terro at your walmart and follow the directions. Keep up away from children. The ants will take this stuff back to the nest and you shouldnt have any more problems.
I don't know how well this will work for you but, buy cat food, jelly, and boric acid. Put it on a paper plate near where the ants come into your house. They will take it back to the queen, and it will kill them.
Nippon Gel.
Watch the foraging directions of the ants then drop some gel in their path; not too much.
They feed it to the Queen.
Queen dies...Nest dies.
If you live in the UK get a bottle of Panant. It works the same as Terro.
TRY PUTTING DOWN SOME SALT IN THERE NEST LEAVE FOR A WHILE AND THEN PORE ROASTING HOT WATER OVER THEM.IF THIS DOES NOT WORK TRY SOME COSTIC SODA SAME AS ABOVE PUT IT DOWN AND THEN PORE SOME HOT WATER IF THESE DON'T WORK CALL THE PROFESSIONALS IN ,
Most DIY stores now stock a mini - flame thrower. I am not joking honest. They are used for burning weeds out of paths and patios. They work from a small gas canister about the size of a fresh air aerosol. They are great for seeing off ants nests. Just follow them to see where they have set up camp and nuke em.
