The problem with those stupid little "crazy ants" or "piss ants" is that they have no main queen. Most ant species will attack opposing colonies, these ants just create one big ant society in peace, all ganging up on you. Keep the soil around you house a little damp, they HATE water in their holes, and they will start crawling out. Don't let those flower beds close to your foundation get dried out, (if you have them) that's the best spot for them to colonize. Also, keep you aphid population under control, they also herd aphids when they can't get food from you.
Another good solution is to mix some sugar with Borax and water, until its like honey. The ones that eat it or walk on it will die, and if you plug holes with the stuff, it dries like cement, so they can't come back in. Sometimes they'll carry it back to their queen, but these again don't have only one queen.
