I've read the post on getting rid of ants but I'm unsure which one the try. I have hundreds of (live next to the wetlands) of frogs and lizards that I do not want to harm. Lots of baby frogs about the size of a thumbtack head hopping all over.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Fire Ants are in South Carolina ? My ant poison doesn't bother any of insects are lizards or fire ants for that matter .If you find a poison that work please let us Texans know what it is. There is all kinds but it just moves them to your neighbors and they poison and moves them back.

That's exactly what happens here. Everytime I think I've gotten one, two more pop up.
I would just leave them be but my doggies were biten and I can't have my babies bit by those ants.
