Yep, Terro works and it works fast. Had a major ant problem one morning back in the spring, got the Terro out and the ants were gone by evening. Make sure you put enough liquid out to saitsfy them. i also used a piece of foil, crimped it up like a little bowl about the size of a bottle cap, filled it up with Terro and didn't have to keep reapplying to the littel squares that come with the product.

My Neighbor told me this week if you have too many ants in your yard, to sprinkle corn meal around the mounds. Something about they can't digest it and it will kill off the ants. I haven't tried it, but she has and said it worked.
This works great, just takes a little longer than some commercial poisons.

Borax or boric acid mixed with powdered sugar gets them too.

Just read an article today that says salt will repel them as well.

I've had ants ALL over my yard. not fire ants the littel black ones.
I've been putting out the Terro and that has helped but I think I had quite a colony going under the shed
