How do you get rid of Carpenter Ants?
Here are the specifics of the recipe. Follow them closely, because if it’s too strong then the scout ants will croak before they have a chance to deliver your goods to the mothership. 2 tablespoons Sugar 2 tablespoons Peanut Butter 1 tablespoon Boric Acid (The Boric Acid is a white powder which you can find in any local Hardware store… it’s nothing too powerful, but don’t put it where pets and kids can easily reach it.) Mix the ingredients thoroughly with a disposable spoon or knife. Then cut up a couple of straws into about 3 pieces each. Pack them halfway with the mixture- this allows you to handle them easily and allows you to place them in areas where your child or pet is less likely to find them. Place the straws near where you see the ant trail- try to follow it until you get as close to their point of entry, because there’s no reason to invite them further into your home. You will probably need to replace the straws after a day or two. By then you will probably not see many, i
First, you have to find a colony of fire ants and then locate a rogue male member who has been thrown out of the colony. After capture tell him you will grant freedom if he does a “job” for you. The “job” is to train to be a union rep and then he must unionize the carpenter ants that you want to get rid of. Carpenter ants being the most independent of all ants will refuse to be unionized and will quickly leave your home voluntarily. Wait 3 weeks….if the carpenter ants have not returned then keep your end of the deal and free the fire ant… preferably somewhere not too close to home.
