How do I get rid of black carpender ants?


Question:

Answers:
Call a professional. Carpenter ants can be as destructive as termites. The nest or nests could be just about anywhere and as much as 100 yards from where you are seeing them. The nests should be located and treated directly.


There are not any preventative products on the market that a homeowner can buy that are effective.As far as things you can do,Eliminate conducive conditions,Make sure there is no wood-soil contact,trees touching the home,moisture conditions in the home or against it,rotten wood is replaced and sealed,mulch is not piled against the house, and firewood is stored away from the home.The only products that will work are done by a professional,do not take shortcuts in protecting your home.Call a Pest Control Professional and have a proper treatment performed.The best products are baits.Sprays just scatter the ants and will result in a larger infestation
