I am having trouble with a bumper crop of ant hills this year.  These are not the normal ants, these make huge hills that can reach over 3 feet across and over a foot tall.  They are scattered around my farn, but now are they are closing in on my house and garden.  And they bite!  I've tried "grits" but that didn't help. I am reluctant to use strong pesticides because I get my water from a shallow well and believe whatever I put on the ground today comes out the faucet tomorrow.   Any suggestions on how to get rid of the ants?
 
BTW I didn't get to comment on the wasp issue, but I keep a pistol grip sprayer loaded with kerosene in my shed...knocks them right down.
