I lived in Flrodia for a few years in the 70s. Our home backed up to an orange grove.

We could go to bed with nothing in our yard, and wake up to a red ant mound 2 feet by 2 feet and 6-8 inches high. Those things were incredible. New show in the ant world - extreme mound makeover - they have 7 minutes instead of 7 days.

Anyway, the only way to get rid of them was to pour gas or kerosene on the mound and ignite it. Just too many of them for any insecticide method. not that I would endorse that method for indoors issues. I feel I must make the disclaimer for fear of lawsuit when someone tries it.
