Baits are the most effective and safest way to kill ants but before you buy bait, you will want to see what the ants are eating. Most ants will eat sugar or protein based foods.

Of the ones that do, the award for most toxic venom goes to the harvester ant (Pogonomyrmex maricopa). The LD50 for harvester ant venom (in rodents) is 0.12 mg/kg. Compare that to a LD50 of 2.8 mg/kg for a honey bee (Apis mellifera) sting.
