Help get rid of ants

Tauriel · 2011-07-25 12:37:08

This is probably a stupid question but I was wondering is there any ant killer out there that I can get that won't harm my dog. The poor thing is been eaten alive in the garden and their nests are sprouting out everywhere.

Those little ant house things are what I used last year, put them down under things, outside a flower pot upside down with something on top to weight it down. Inside I put them behind the kick boards on the cupboards. Don't think there's any safe, but if you're careful it should be fine.
