OK I HAVE HAD IT.....

I don't like using toxic chemicals around the kids and pets.
A bottle of boric acid should do the job. 
I just had a problem with ant hills between the foundation of my house and the patio. Put some boric acid directly on them and no more ants.

I've had some luck with this in the past: If your not a smoker timmy find one, loot thier ash tray, get about 8-10 cig butts, fill up a spray bottle with water, drop in the butts, let sit over night. Ants usually follow the same paths, once you figure out where the little bastards are coming from saturate the area with the solution.

wd40 and a lighter is better on flying insects

First year in our house we had the "bug of the month club".  Termites, Bee swarm in a bedroom, Irwigs, Two sides of the house covered with lady bugs, Ants, Fleas(left over from prior owers).  We pay for a service...It's great we see a bug we call Jason.

Instead of chemical warfare, I've actually heard of people spreading some type of spice around the outside of their house.  I can't remember if it cinnamon, cumin or something else.  Might be worth looking into...

As far as ants in your pants, there's a shot for that I'm sure LOL

Piano Man....I had to laugh.....

I can't remember if it cinnamon,  CUMIN  or something else. 

I dont think I will be doing any cumin around my house...at least outside..lol

Only you Timmayy.  LOL 

But I think PianoMan has a point there.  I've heard of some kind of spice ants hate.  It's a safe way to guard against them.  IDK  Check into it.  Just don't sprinkle the cinnamon in your pants.

Tim have you ever thought about employing a Bic lighter and can of hairspray

JDog... we're talkin' to Timm here, ya might not want to teach him about things that go B-O-O-M! 

Sarge I realized in hindsight that it was probably not the best thing to recommend to someone, especially someone who goes outside in the middle of a Midwestern winter to collect their newspaper in nothing but red and white shorts!
