Pet safe Ant killer suggestions...

Just keep repeating until they are in your neighbor's yard.

My dad taught me this:
Buy Bengal Gold roach spray and stick the little straw that goes in the spray nozzle into the mound and blast it a few seconds. Then pull it out and put it in another area of the mound at a slightly different depth and blast again. Do this about every 6 square surface inches. For a typical sized mound that would be 3-4 times. This method has never failed me. Once the little buggers rebuilt a much smaller mound nearby. But it’s because i ran out of spray and wasn’t able to spray the mound more than once and it was a pretty large mound.

Diatomaceous earth will kill anything with an exoskeleton that crawls through it, so it’s a physical pesticide rather than a chemical one. It is pet safe, though you shouldn’t breathe in a big lungful of it when you spend it around.

Sprinkle in a thick layer over the anthill, give it a few pokes with a stick to get em riled up. You may have to repeat a few times. It’s also a good thing to dust around outdoor pet beds, doghouses, etc as it will kill fleas.
