I can sympathize. Sounds like you live in a sandy area. THIS SUGGESTION IS NOT – REPEAT NOT – CHILD OR ANIMAL SAFE, but you may want to try a Green Cross products called Ant-b-gone. Put a few drops on a small plastic or metal square or disc of somekind (a cut-out from a foil pie plate for example) and put it close to the ant hill and ant trails. The ants love this sticky liquid, get it on their feet and take it back to the main nest.
YOU WILL NEED TO EDUCATE YOUR CHILDREN to stay away from these baits. That is the downside, but the upside is that it should work this Spring and you’ll have a clean yard for Summer. Good luck.
