Takeover Of Ants!!!

[tiffanymarie98]

How can I get rid of an ant hill?? Since it has gotten warmer out I have noticed I have an ant hill forming. Its been progressively getting worse each day. The ants are near my chickens and ducks runs. I tried putting down DE. I waited for a nice warm day with no expectations of rain all week. It's almost like the DE isn't phasing them. I don't want to use anything that could potentially hurt or kill my chickens/ducks. That was why I got the food grade DE. Everything else I see on the market shouldn't be used around or ingested by animals. Any recommendations for something safe and effective to use is greatly appreciated

DE isn't effective and is harmful for you and your birds to breathe.
We always used the borax baits in a safe place or grits.
