I go bonkers every time I see a post about an ant hill in the yard that

chance of harming the environment than doing any good. Treat problems
that threaten the house, yard. Ants are often beneficial (pollinating,
eating other critters, etc.) and the poison adds up. If a couple of ant
hills bother you, you need a hobby other than exterminating

The only ants I **** with are fire ants... and they started it. I was standing
outside talking to the mailman when I noticed that something was biting the crap
out of me. It turned out I was standing on a little flat spot that fire ants
had cultivated. Ever since then, I've taken a perverse pleasure in wiping the
little *******s off the face of the earth. If that isn't green enough for you,
so be it.
