wipe the surface with the clorox. You will need to renew that clorine wipe of the surface every three days. It disrupts their senses and they are unable to cross the clorine wiped surface.

For fire ants, do that and go to the hardware store and get a good fire ant killer. Follow directions on the package for the mounds, then broadcast the granuals all over your yard.

If they are carpenter ants (AKA bull ants), you might as well burn your house down and rebuild in concrete and steel. That's about the only way to get rid of them...

edited to spell the name brand chlorine correctly.
