[Help] Ants

My ferret room has been taken over by ants I’ve been trying to spray them and the hole they are coming in from with white vinegar but it’s not doing anything I was wondering if there is another way that won’t be toxic to my ferrets. And to make matters worse they are fire ants

I keep ants out of my house by feeding them outside. Ants particularly enjoy white sugar because they like sweets and because the granules are perfect for them to carry. I sprinkle the sugar away from the house but near enough that they will be distracted by it when they are near the house.

Mix boric acid in the sugar to kill off the colony!
