Our yard feels overrun with small black and large red ants. It has been a problem for a while. I was hoping when we got the chickens that they would have some crazy ant eating tendencies, but this is not the case. They keep building colonies closer and closer to the chicken coop so I would like to get rid of them (also because there are too many).
What are some methods of killing ants? Methods that are SAFE for the chickens and people, of course.
I have tried Diatamaceous Earth sprinkled on top of ant hills, but it is not effective for some reason. I have tried castor oil because I saw that somewhere. It didn't work well. What else is there?
