    Already pretty fair ideas here or if you can simply visit any major store and bring up Insect killer, it’s not much expensive either while is very handful and is not just for Ant, but any insect (obviously), so that would do the job easier for you… Hope it helps.

    Just leave them alone, they don't do any harm. Any decent sized garden will usually have several ant colonies most of which will go unnoticed until the queens and males take flight.

    I don't want them in the house, but the garden is fine.

    Reported the spam that bumped this thread, but if you read the actual posts they do cause OP harm, to the point she needs medical treatment. A friend of OPs also got a fair few bites off them.

    Therefore the usually advice (which I myself normally subscribe to) of "leave them alone they do no harm", clearly does not apply here.
