You might want to add a mixture 75% borax and 25% sugar to the ground surrounding your house. A slow-acting poison to ants, but an essential mineral in the ground. There are theories that dirt naturally high in borax is essentially ant-proof.

While not technically a poison, but a mineral, I'd still make sure dogs/cats can't get into it.

In Bermuda, which is practically just an ant hill posing as an island, I'd sprinkle this mixture around the house and even make a few mounds in my countertops, if the ants had already found their way in. It might attract more of them initially, but they take the food back to the nest - and bingo! Ants' last supper.

I always found it satisfying to find their nests and pour boiling water into them. No chemicals and took care of the job.

I think it is implying when you are older you do things you wouldn't dream of doing, wearing, saying, etc when you were younger.
