Default Killing ants without killing lawn?

Last year we started getting lots of ants in our back yard. We had some ant-killer drops and some little tins of ant poison that we left just outside the fence, out of Layla's reach, but still in the vicinity of the ant hills.I guess it didn't work... now it's spring and the whole middle of the lawn is patchy and there are new hills everywhere! There are huge clearings of grass that are full of ant hills

We are planning to reseed the lawn right away but obviously need to get rid of this ant problem first. We need a natural solution, something that won't harm the dogs because now we have Kash and Lucy who go outside multiple times a day, and we also need something that is not going to kill the grass we do have in the area.

Any suggestions??? I heard Borax would work on the ants, but it may kill the grass and nothing may grow there for a long time...
