Good luck!
When I say I'm at war with the ants in my yard, I mean I wake up thinking about my attack strategy in the morning. These suckers were EVERYWHERE: so many hills in my yard that my grass stopped growing and my yard turned into dirt land, a TON of hills between bricks in our walkway, and a few in our flower beds. I put these things out since I didn't really want to mess with any chemicals at home and the all natural stuff was getting me nowhere. I put them out and within a week I could see a difference in activity. Within 3 months they were all gone.
As others mentioned, there can be satellite colonies that end up bigger when you attack the main colony. What I did (and worked for me) was putting these out for a month, then getting more and searching out the newly forming colonies and relocating the bait.
Good luck!
