Hit 'em where it hurts!

I found the ant colony today... The little buggers had taken up shop in our front yard. While I normally will leave any bug living peacefully outside alone these ants have ticked me off. So they got a healthy dose of bug spray covering their home. Was it nice of me? No. Am I proud of myself? Not really. But I'm at my wits end, if I find one more ant in my house I just may go out there with a shovel and dig the colony out of the ground and have an ant smashing party. I'd go with pouring gas on them and lighting a match if I wasn't afraid of hurting myself...
