How to kill black crazy ants??

[CHASZ51]

Seems they are all over the outside of my house. Not sure If all the rain is the cause.

Anyone know the best way to kill these ants?

Never tried it, but I've heard that diatomaceous earth is about the best substance to use for many insect problems.

Thanks, never heard of it. Bait traps don't seem to cut it.

It's kind of interesting stuff in that it's not really a poison. Its actually sort of an abrasive and desiccant that gets between the chinks of an insects shell to kill it. Plus it is safe for just about everything BUT insects.
