1. Bengle...Ant killer...Aerosol and powder
2. Well, you could try using a shotgun! This one worked for me... Locate the opening to the underground nest and dump used coffee grounds on top of it. The ants will carry some of the damp coffee grounds down inside the nest, and apparently once they dry out there's something about the smell that they don't like. Didn't eliminate them completely, but it did reduce the number of ants in my garden.
3. Some Terro bait and some Combat bait will give the ants something to take to their nest. They want food to take to the nest. Terro is for ants that like sugar and Combat is for ants that like greasy food. Testing them with some sugar will tell you if they like it. This can take some time for the bait to kill off the nest. This is a way to kill the nest when you do not know where it is. If you can find the nest outside, some ant powder on the nest will kill them. Baby powder with talc in it will repel the ants. With that many ants, the ants might find another place to come in.
