COLT-45 - Try these suggestions click here. Failing that the liquid ant killer you put in a pot seems to work fairly well. Keep it away from kids & pets tho'

There are plenty of solutions (see above link) but none are permanent, ants will always be with us

Are the ants indoors or outside? If they are outside (ie an anthill in your garden) you can pour a lot of boiling water with vinegar onto the anthill. If they are indoors, then go to the link that paulz gave.

stab each one individually with a needle

I suggest nippon ant killer, following the instructions. The sweet, poisonous liquid is fed to the queen by worker ants. When the queen dies, so does the rest of the colony. I now use, if necessary, ant powder, which works better as the powder is carried into the nest, and any ant coming into contact with it, including the queen dies. The boiling water and vinegar has an effect for a while, but the queen is so deep in the nest, she is unnaffected and just re-colonises. For information, unless the ants are a real nuisance and/or are coming into the house, leave them be. They have a beneficial effect, their tunnels aerating the soil and allowing water to soak in whilst also allowing drainage.
