Need to kill ants

[BlueBlobTX]

OMG! Not the beer! These are serious, bad Texas ants. "Natural" remedies will not work! The only solution I can think of is to buy a 6-pack of really cheap beer... open all the cans... set the 6-pack at least 15 feet away from the pool, along with a dozen old donuts (make a ring of donuts around the 6-pack)... wait for them to head towards the bad beer and bad donuts... then start shooting... or if you have a hand grenade handy....

I have have the same problem. Not sure what kind of ants they are but they were all over the ouside of my pool, mine is above ground, and some had wings too. I have to be careful as I have dogs that have access to the pool area so what can I use that won't hurt my dogs?
