The Natural Gardening Company in San Anselmo, CA has a product listed
in their catalog called Boric Acid.  Evidentally its a liquid that
you put on the ground and it kills ants.  Does anyone know more about
this product?

I have ants in my compost pile too.  I'm glad to know that they
actually do good for my compost pile.  They're just black little
ants, not fire ants - thank heaven.
