ds are coming into your kitchenNope is the only one I've found to be effective but it's not an instant long lasting solution to what I presume is an underground city beneath my patio and lawn, it keeps them at bay though.
I've just done my seasonal spraying, sprinkling of bait for them to take home, bait stations and filled cracks with old coffee grounds and it's helped but there's still a few wandering today. When I get the garden done I'm hoping to nuke them once and for all.
Apparently nematodes are the answer once you've exhausted boiling them and chemical options but I've only read about them.

Doesn’t leave a white residue and never had it fail to destroy a nest.

I had an ants nest on my balcony, I tried a few things to get them gone and none worked.
Then a batty old cat lady aunt who is into crystals and new age woo visited us and she suggested I just ask them to leave. So I did, just to humour her and to have a joke with the wife about it later and I don't have ants anymore, not for a few years now.
Didn't go immediately but there was a gradual reduction to zero.
I suspect it's a placebo effect but I am stumped as to why I don't have ants anymore. I've done nothing else.

Used this product in granular form - the ants avoid it so it has not workedI've just done my seasonal spraying, sprinkling of bait for them to take home, bait stations and filled cracks with old coffee grounds and it's helped but there's still a few wandering today.

Ant Stop bait stations work brilliantly. Eradicated an annual problem we have had for 20 years within 24 hours.
Yep, they work for me too - very quickly too.They're not cheap, but they do work.

Using Nope at the moment, I question its long lasting effects but certainly works.I've just done my seasonal spraying, sprinkling of bait for them to take home, bait stations and filled cracks with old coffee grounds and it's helped but there's still a few wandering today.

As of last night can confirm it also kills false widows and hornets (sprayed direct) - everything is trying to get me at the moment!
Nope has done a great job of - kick the ants nest, spray a lot and leave.
For the first time the mounds haven’t reappeared 2 days later (this happened with the nippon powder).
On the nematodes - the ones for leather jackets are great.
The ant ones? Nah.. they just make the ants want to go somewhere else - sort of. Whereas when applied to leather jackets they eat the larvae.
Ant problem this year appears much worse than previous years so far.
Only thing.. quick search suggests the CP in nope can causes speech development issues in toddlers. Haven’t checked the concentration at which this happens but it’s made me a bit concerned about using it indoors.
