The answer is No. Up until recently there were a number of professional use products that worked and I used to have success with but due to the European biocideds directive most have now been withdrawn. Having used up my stockpile lol, I have yet to…
Have you tried flooding it with water ?
I remember reading back on another forum about ant problems and some used this treatment and said it worked well.

OF COURSE THERE IS...!
