Eric:
 
Glad I am not an ant!  Just kidding :-)
 
Jim:
 
Last year, I believe, there was quite a discussion on ants.
 
One idea suggested was to put a container, like maybe
an old film container with small holes (smaller than a
honey bee-obviously) in the cover and put poison inside
& place it under your hive if there is room. There were some
good suggestions for poison. I think one idea involved
using Borax?
 
Perhaps whoever suggested the Borax could pop on line
again with the formula or what have you.
