    Well, if the nest wasn't over a 20 foot high wall and in the barnyard behind us, I would totally give the boiling water trick a try!! I can nuke them with ant spray, tho!!

    Black ants bite as well as red ants.
    Mapecon is a waiste of money.
    There is only one way and that is to spray regularly, in rainy season even everyday.
    Buy a pressure sprayer and a bottle of (concentrate) termitekiller and spray as much as possible. In the beginning everyday, after some time perhaps weekly.
    Find out if you are alergic to ant- or waspbites, many people are.

    Enviro friendly and food safe ant spray we use on the kitchen counter is Simple Green. Use full strength.

    simple green

    That was available in the states, too. Where do you get it here? At the hardware store?

    I've never been bitten by a black ant here, even when covered with them while chopping down bamboo! Maybe I don't taste good? Mosquitoes here seem to like filipino blood better than mine also! :D I tell my filipino friends and family that they are my mosquito bait! :D
