Bill:

Ants are a terrible problem here in the south. A friend of mine got tired of 
buying chemicals and decided a basic approach was best: she drenched the ant 
mounds and tunnels with hot water. She reported huge success, and vows it was 
worth the trouble of heating the water and carrying it to the site. She 
treated a 3 acre area.

Sometimes the simplest way is best. No need to make problems unnecessarily 
complex.
