If the ants are really bugging you nosmo-king, you should go to your local hardware shop or garden centre and get Nippon dust or Nippon ant killer liquid, a small container of this will last for years . Follow their trail home to find the nest , lightly dust or place a few drops of the liquid on a flat piece of wood.
The ants will carry it into the nest, causing their activity to drop or stop altogether after 10 days.
Before you proceed carefully read the instructions for use and safety on these products. Once read, follow them.
Good luck.

Or if you want more fun... pour petrol down the hole and light a match from a safe distance
