After boiling the ants, I thought all was well. No sign of ants for about a month.
Then I checked my mail one day and noticed a small hole in my driveway. Odd... Stopped to take a look and a bunch of ants ran out of it. Yeah, turns out that boiling them just moves the problem.
Okay, now they've chosen to ratchet things up a notch. Can't have them chewing up my driveway. So I discussed it with coworkers again. The subject of diatomaceous earth comes up. Diatoms, man, that's the answer. Lots of diatoms.
I dumped a bunch around the ant holes I could see. A week later, ants are still happily running about.
So I dumped a bunch more in a wider area. And in the ant holes for good measure.
A couple weeks later I couldn't spot any ants coming out of the driveway. Yup, I'd finally won.
