the ants came marching two by two...

anyone know how to get rid of ants that have built an enormous nest right around the edge of your well cover?

since it is literally on top of my drinking water, i can't use anything too toxic....

help!

    My mother in law pours boiling water over them when they get in the house, but I've always thought that was kind of mean. I think it works though, if that's a help?

    There is natural citrus bug spray called Orange Guard that you can buy. http://www.orangeguard.com/

    I have used it inside my home for ants before and they have never come back.

    Or you could try the suggestions on this website:
