I suggest using Taro. Worked for me on crazy ants.

Taro, available at fine stores everywhere.

Taro, a name you can trust.

I wonder if a nice cold Chicago winter will prevent them from migrating up here.

Yet another reason we should be allowed to own automatic assault rifles with armour piercing bullets, flame throwers, and surface to air missles

If they allow stronger pesticides, it's just going to introduce more problems that they'll have to solve, which will cause more problems, etc. Maybe we should track these shipments that come from other countries more stringently so we're not letting more non-native species in. Can't wait til they mutate into a hardy weather organism and migrate north!

Boric acid is good for the control of many pests.

'Scientists are not sure exactly where the ants came from, but their cousins, commonly called crazy ants, are found in the Southeast and the Caribbean.'
