    When I was still living at home, I once discovered a massive anthill near the house. Easily a foot and a half across, and rising above the ground four or five inches. Dug it out with a shovel and turned it over. Next day - it’s fixed. Soaked it with gasoline and set it on fire. Next day - fixed. Doused with gasoline again, dug it out and turned it over, more gasoline, more digging, more gasoline, more fire. That finally did it.

      They probably moved because their nests are quite deep. Like 10-20 feet. (3-6 meters for the everyone else.)
