we had abc pest pool and lawn start coming out every other month to spray outside and in weep holes for wasps. While there they treat the house perimeter, weep holes, lawn, flowerbeds. Best thing we ever did - no wasps and first year ever no ant beds popping up all the time.

Thanks for the heads up. I usually use amdro, which is $20 and works pretty well. I bought Over n' Out today and it stinks worse than amdro, so it might be better.

I don't get fire ants, but I see the little baby ants, sugar ants? running outside on my driveway and exterior walls every now and then.

I use Ortho Orthene Fire Ant Killer. Great stuff. Usually @ $10 for a 12-oz canister.
