My garden has ants everywhere! Myself and Garden Guy were sitting having a chat by the pond. Me in longs, he in shorts. Me on a stone, he on a tuffet. This story does not end well for him but I'll stop now in case anyone is having eggs or sausages for breakfast. Oh how I laughed...
I know what those tuffets are like, there’s a Churchyard near here, they are about 3’ high in some places, doesn’t bare thinking about if they were disturbed.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.

You can take a shirt off if you're being attacked but I don't think that would have resolved Garden Guy's problem.
I find the best ant treatment especially in hot dry weather is a liquid one. It's Borax in a syrup solution, the ants feed on it and it goes with them back to the nest. Going back to the Nematodes they are specific for each pest so you need to get the correct one for whatever you want to treat, if there is no host they die out naturally, so they will not build up or cause toxicity like chemical treatments.
