Hey All,

Earlier this Spring I noticed a fairly well established ant colony in my yard. It's deep enough to where my foot sinks slightly when I step on it. I can stick my dandelion popper into the ground there without effort at least two feet straight down.

They're black ants, but I don't think they are carpenter ants because carpenter ants don't nest in the soil. Could be wrong on that though.

Anyone here have any suggestions for eliminating the nest? Can anyone recommend any products I could use?

I'm not too keen on just leaving them there. I'm resisting the 12 year old in my head telling me to grab a shovel and start digging just to eff with them.

Thanks for the tips.
