Ants......
Any got any tried and true ant removal tips? Id like to get a head start on em before they start taking over my back yard again. I've tried all the baits, sprays, ant hill killers and borax and sugar. Pretty sure there are 2 different clans, one seems to like sweet baits, the other wont touch them but will chow down on some meat with ant powder on it. But none of them seem to have any real affect
They are all little red guys with black butts. They dont bite or anything but are super annoying

Yup, buy a cheap little sprayer, mix it up and go to town.

This is the right answer.
Everything else may as well be a strongly worded letter.

Chickens...they just love ants.

Damascus earth. Cover the hills and areas of them and it will work. Available at Ufa in bags that will last you a lifetime. And it’s natural and pet friendly if you have a dog

X2 on diatomaceous earth. It's the asbestos of the bug world, but works much faster.

Im guessing you are dealing with satellite colonies if they are returning every year. If you can find the main colony ( probably located on the neighbors property) and destroy it that should greatly reduce your problem.
We had major ant problems for years, sprayed every chemical you could think of and they would come back in a month. Finally I ended up mowing the neighbor's lawn and found a huge nest behind their garage. Once I sprayed that nest the problem disappeared for a few years until another nest took over somewhere else.

Try powdered sugar and baking soda, they lick it up and the gas kills them internally I tried it last year it worked well.
