I've used Ortho's Fire Ant Killing stuff in the past, I love it. It's in granule form, I broadcast it over the lawn every 2/3 years and don't have any problems with them.

Pour boiling water on the mounds. You have to be consistant but it works without any chemicals and its cheap.

usally i spray around the house for bugs and if you find any ant hills just burn em with some wd 40 and a lighter or drown em in water or any other way you can think of gettign rid of the ant hills.

the stuff you can purchase at the stores doesnt always have a positive result most people including myself just witness the ants moving there nest away from the poison into another part of the yard. and if you dont want to chase down hills and keep a constent eye on them with water. you can try grits not oatmeal but grits some times it will take a while to work. i picked this up from a buddy of mine who is a landscaper

I have got to know a method that you can bake some useless egg shells, and put them around your plants, those ants will eat them, and they will die. This is quite easy you can try it.
