Only wood destroying ants in wall void. You need to read label on application of product. We use it for wall voids and it works very well.

Frank, The labeling includes both wood destroying ants (like carpenter ants) as well as "crawling pests" which encompasses most ants species. But the label only allows for void treating and not spot spraying (except for carpenter ants). So if you intend on treating a wall space, you're okay. However, if you want something to spray out in the open, you'll need to go with an aerosol or liquid concentrate with more liberal labeling.Cheers,JonathanCustomer CareU-Spray Bugspray

Larry, I used it on black, red, & fire ants. ( it doesn't go far & neither did they) I put a little at the base of an oak tree that has carpenter ants & it did kill some. Sorry I couldn't help more.

Jennifer, Probably not. First, Timbor is not that good for "controlling" an existing problem. Especially when targeting carpenter ants. Second, its designed to protect wood and this is done by coating the surface of cellulose before it gets a problem - not after the problem exists. So if you have an active infestation, you'll be best served to use something like Drione Dust. This product works great and will penetrate the nest through and through when puffed into entrance/exit holes. Alternatively you can use Carpenter Ant Gel or something like Phantom Aerosol as well.

The product was designed to work best for subterranean termite control. Try Beneficial Nematodes for ants. Spray right on the moving ant trial. Bye Ants!!!!

Sure you can. Just sprinkle a little on top of the ant hill and in 2 or 3 days they just disappear. Work like a charm.

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.

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

I have never tried it for them. I have used it for argentinian ants and they ate it. I've not seen them since. This works amazingly well on ghost ants (the almost invisible, tiny ants). Black ants also eat it.

Sorry I ordered this for my son-in-law to use for ants. It works on termites and ants. Wish I could help more.

Yes, this product will work to kill carpenter ants. For best results, locate and treat nests and surrounding areas. Apply around doors and windows and other places where ants enter premises and where they crawl and hide. Spray into infested wood through existing openings.

Yes, but there is an Advion fire ant bait specifically for use outdoors for fire ants. To quote Dupont's literature; ""DuPont ADVION ant gel is specifically formulated to be attractive to all major pest species of ants such as Acrobat, Argentine, Big-headed, Carpenter, Cornfield, Crazy, Field, Ghost, Harvester*, Honey, Little black, Odorous house, Pavement, Pharaoh*, Pyramid, Red Imported Fire Ant*, Rover, Thief, and White-footed. ADVION ant gel contains the active ingredient, indoxacarb, a non-repellent insecticide. Use of ADVION ant gel will help eliminate ants within days of applying the gel according to the use directions. *ADVION ant gel is effective at killing Pharoah ants, foraging red imported fire ants and harvester ants. For complete control of outdoor nests of these species, use additional treatments labeled for outdoor nest control of these species.""

You cut that red rectangle out with scissors. The diagram shows that that creates that pathway that the ants use to get into the poison. It works like a charm!!

I have used it successfully with those really small "sugar" and "ghost" ants that come in the house. It also worked on the larger ants going up the wall of my home toward the roof. I really bought too much--I still have quite a bit left and have only had to retreat 2-3 times since I bought it at least several years ago.

No, not with the application method that is involved. It only works with mounds. For sugar ants as well as roaches and any other indoor insects, I use Bengal which works great.

FC Ant Killer is what I used. The add for it does in fact identify carpenter ants as one of the targeted species. I was getting some ants inside so I did some baiting indoors. However I noticed when I left my grill cover on the raised wood deck for a few days there were a number of carpenter ants hiding under it when I lifted it up. I treated that area and squirt some on the ground through the deck slats and recovered the area with the grill cover for 3 days (treating one additional time). Ants have disappeared.

Did you clip the end of the plastic container where the instructions indicate it should be cut? Did you place it close to a known ant trail? If you did those things, then ants should be visiting the container and taking poison home to the queen and her pupa...which will severely reduce ant numbers near your home. It works very well so long as the liquid is not spilled out, and so long as the container is in a sheltered area where rain cannot get to it. I hope this helps. :-)

No, it does not. T o kill ants I use a home remedy of diatomaceous earth (found on amazon) you sprinkle it in problem areas and it is safe. You can also mix equal parts of baking soda and sugar together and leae it near their trail or if you can locate the colony then I would apply it there. My spider and ant problem out of the kitchen and around the exterior of the house, I use ortho home defense.
