    Marauder Ants

    Does anyone have any ideas on how to kill these things other than Borax mixed in pork fat,(that was my idea but they just seem to cover the mixture up in soil and leave it)
    Pheidologeton diversus

    ^ is the closest i can find to describe them, They are the ones that will crawl all the way up your legs without you knowing and then dozens of them will start biting at the same time (the tiny ones) the tiny ones are about 1mm long then they go up in sizes to the big headed muthers that are about 12mm long, black color reddish tinge, they move from place to place in a long single file like formation and seem to like to eat meat, build nests in the soil in banana trees or under objects laying on the ground or even in the lawn or under gravel or concrete slabs. The missus calls them Moht Dam.

    Put some agricultural lime in your soil to make it less acidic and the ants will go away. Chalk lines are good around the house, ants won't cross. Crush your eggshells into a powder and sprinkle around as well.
    You'll still have to put up with the termites from around 6pm for a couple of hours. We turn off all the lights apart from ones over the pond. Easy way to feed the fish.

    I'll look into it.
