Ants and chemicals

I have an ant problem. Pretty big sized mounds around my lilac bushes. I found this granular insecticide called Amdro that says is for "red ants and imported and other native ants"

The problem is, the mounds are right next to my wellhead and I don't want anything harmful leaching into my drinking water. If the ants won't harm anything on the lilacs or other bushes there (azaleas, boxwoods and cilantro) then I won't worry about it. The amdro has "hydramethylnon 0.73%" as main active ingredient

(I looked for a insecticide forum and didn't see one)

Any advice?
