I've had some success treating anthills around our pool with diatomaceous earth. It takes a while to work, but it is safe for kids and pets. It's not guaranteed to get rid of them, but it can help.

Get serious with the pest control and get some Bifen IT from [domyown.com](https://domyown.com). Talstar would also work. Youll need to spray your yard and your pool deck, and then stay off the area for a few days. Follow the label for each of these. Good news is that you can use either inside your home and get rid of your pest control guy. After all - this is the stuff he's buying and reselling you any way.

I've used Ortho Ant B Gon Spray around my home and pool. It works remarkably well. Spray the perimeter of what you're trying to protect and you'll notice far fewer ants.

White vinegar will kill ants at a 50-50 dilution and is totally fine if it falls into your pool. White vinegar is used to treat scaling and help with lowering Ph in some cases, so it won't do anything funky with your water but maybe lower the ph a touch.

Any amount of borax ingested by any insect is fatal. Low dose make them able to carry it back to the hive.
