Lets just hope you don't encounter LFA (little (tiny) fire ant). Then you would wish you had scorpions instead of ants.
The best I think is boric acid available from ace / true value called roach perfume it's in powder form. Just mix some of that in hot water in sprayer and spray the perimeter of your home especially on the posts if you live on post and pier home. Also, I loaded up the wall with it. just drill small holes your walls (sheet rock) and pump in the powder or if you have single wall spray the crap out of wall base. I can't remember but I think it takes a lot to kill a dog so... I think you pretty safe if you spray it in on your walls.
Boric acid works for ants just as well at termites.
