When I had ants coming into my house when I lived in a mobile home I
used a flea powder from the veterinarian. They were coming into the
house and eating the dog food. I understand them outdoors doing this but
it really made me mad to see them coming into the house and messing with
my stuff.
I didn't have anything to kill them with except I had some flea powder
from the vet. I spinkled this on the floor and it worked almost
instantly.
If your friend has huge hills, these could be fire ants! YIKES>
There is a poison just for that at Walmart in the south and I guess it
is available elsewhere. These are dangerous pests that can do serious
harm and even kill if they get into a frenzy and attack you or a pet.
