does this work on carpenter ants?

Yes. Carpenter ants feed on sugar sources so this should be perfect for them. Just put it wherever you've been seeing them gather and watch the feeding frenzy begin!

I applied 6 products before I gave up the house and move out- just kiddingCan not believe I've lived without ants inside few ants outside of house last 8 weeks; few are back in now and time to treat them again.The Trio working: Ortho Max Lawn INSCT KLR Granular- at HomedepotAMDRO ANT BLOCK- at LowesCombat Ant gel (interior) - at Homedepot

While not an expert on ants, I do believe (based on the pictures) that I have some carpenter ants at my cabin. This Terro Ant Killer has greatly reduced my ant problem with all ants. There are still a few but nothing like before. For the price, it's definitely worth trying. I've got to order some more for my mother who has an infestation of thousands of small ants in her house. Wish I could answer your question with 100% certainty. I would, however, be surprised if it didn't work on carpenter ants. Terro has a website where they will answer any questions or concerns that you might have. http://www.terro.com/guide-ants.php

Never tried with carpenter ants. When I captured one outside to ID it ate some mango so they will eat sweet things. After that I never saw them in or near the house.

Hi Dorothy, thanks for the question. I actually purchased this for the treatment of carpenter ants! I had a terrible invasion in a dead Fig tree limb, you should have seen them! Unfortunately I cannot post links here, but if you go to YouTube and search "boric acid kill ants" I'd suggest the videos by CupRockTv as well as gregthegardner. I don't own those videos, but I just did a bit if checking for you and I can recommend them. Let me know if you need anything else and have a fantastic day! -Nic

YES. I live on a ranch and we have many varieties of ants. Big and small,, black and red, biting and stinging ones. I powder every nest I find at the entrance and any crawling ones around it. It works within minutes and is non toxic to birds and pets. Just be sure not to get the powder wet.

All we can tell you is that Advance 375a killed a bad infestation of Carpenter ants 18 months age and they have not returned. Good luck.Randy & Mary Kenny

I would say probably yes because it says to keep away from your pets. But yuou may want to send a email to Terro directly and ask them to be sure. But as for using it on Ants it works amazingly. I have never seen anything that works so fast on the ants. We have used the indoor and out door ones. This one is for indoor ants.

No, says the pest control company that recommended this to me. This products works. Put a line in an ant path and they go after it. Used this for years.

Here is the specific thing you need, but I also use the Taurus SC, which I dilute about 1oz. per 1 gallon of water, & I spray it around the entire perimeter of my house + my neighbor's house. The results are 100%. Me & my closest neighbor haven't seen 1 ant or really any bugs of ANY kind near or in our houses. No Hype here, this stuff is the real deal!..Here is the link for the gel application specifically for Carpenter Ants...http://store.doyourownpestcontrol.com/maxforce-carpenter-ant-bait-gel

Typically you would not use this for carpenter ants. It'll work and it is labeled for regular ants, but it is not labeled for carpenter ants.

There's nothing harder to get rid of than carpenter ants. I use this stuff year round. I put a layer around the outside of the house and I haven't seen spiders or ants since. Spier mites not quit sure what they are. But it probably will work on them too. Great stuff!!!!

It does appear to work with spiders, crickets and cockroaches, but not sure about ants, although I'd have to think so.

Here is where I found out about this stuff...it is recommended for carpenter bees, which is what I am buying it forhttp://www.pestproducts.com/deltamethrinspray.htm

Not at all! It works terrible on seed ticks or anything very small. We had to use tweezers.

I've tired it several times for carpenter ants and it never had any effect as far as I can tell. There's articles on the web about carpenter ant control and the general opinion seems to be that carpenter ants usually ignore baits and stick with their own natural food sources.

Probably not for the ants. It probably only works with creatures that eat wood and blocks some enzyme associated with digesting wood. I think it could prevent mold on wood, but if it already has mold, you should replace the wood first.

I used it for small black ants. It took about 1 week and the ants were gone.

We have not tested Mouse Magic on ants, so we do not know if it will work. It does work well against mice and rats.
