I try very hard to avoid pesticides but sometimes I cave. We fight ants in FL like there is no tomorrow. If you aren't planting food there, Amdro and Spectracide both work really well for fireants. Terro is great for most of the others. If you don't have anything growing in the area yet, pouring boiling water works well but it takes several tries and patience to get them. Just don't pour it near plants because it will kill the plants too.
