it's not a home remedy, but the commercial product ANDRO is extremely
effective at killing fire ants (and thus I presume red ants) here in
Texas.  The worker ants take the small granules into the mound where they
are ingested into the food chain of the colony.  Several days later all
the ants and the queen are dead.  

I don't use this stuff around the garden, for fear of it's lasting effects.
Does anyone know whether its safe to use in a garden setting?
