Half concentrated pyrethrum down their hole kills most types, even bull ants.

They hate peppermint oil, either pour it down the entrance to the nest and watch the buggers run, or keep some wiped on your doorstep (or anywhere else they get in).

Ants, huh, what are they good for.
Absolutely Nothing, say it again.

We are in UK and are overrun with the little buggers in our 'summer'.
I bought a pest plug from Woolies 'JML PEST STOP' £19.99 and it took a couple of days for them to go but they then marched right under my windowsill to nextdoor ....
