I which I still had a little of that stuff......it would kill anything. Put 1/2 teaspoon on a big ant hill..... and they are dead. The stuff that is sold now will only kill some of the ants and the rest just build a new nest a few feet away.

Have you tried TalStar. I apply it with a spreader twice annually and I never have ants. It is costly $50-60 for a 40# sack but it works really good.
