Does this kill carpenter ants?

Great question. I have a massive ant problem but don't have carpenter ants so why don't you buy some and give it a try. It sure works on common ants and can kill a whole colony in two days.

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!!!!

Yes... I used it in my home to kill large black ants (placing a bead of optigard in window corners, molding edges and such) and they were gone within days. I then used it outdoors on a tree where a large colony of carpenter ants had been living (careful to put the bait in deep, where only the ants would get it and not hurt other wildlife) and within just a couple of days there was no more activity.

Yes, it will kill the smaller German cockroaches as well as others. The main ingredient in these tablets is boric acid which efficiently kills cockroaches and ants, etc. Very handy as they come in a hardened tablet form.

Yes, Delta Dust will kill carpenter bees, however, not on contact. The bees that you covered with Delta Dust will die, but not until the bees ingest the dust. When bees walk through a hole or land on a surface that you dusted, they pick up the dust on their bodies. Later, when they groom themselves as most insects do, they will ingest the small dust particles and die soon after. All dust products work better the less you apply. You should only apply a very thin light dusting of the material. Bees and other insects have thousands of microscopic hairs on their bodies and will pick up the dust quite easily. A pile of dust in one place will look like a mountain to a small insect and they will walk around it instead of through it.

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

An answer must first strongly suggest reading the Timbor "label" for efficacy and uses and handling instructions. That being said, I believe that timbor will kill carpenter ants but I don't know this as a fact. I've had my home professionally treated for dry-wood termites and sprayed my own garage ceiling and soffets for that critter. It is known to be effective on many other pests. All this being said I believe you can use this on your plastic soffets because Timbor is mostly a borax derivative and the carrier would be water.

Yes it will work perfectly to kill all the ants, roaches, etc. Indeed it kills all insects. This is a very powerful product. Since I introduced it in my home, no more roaches nor insects. Sprinkle around corners and little holes in your house especially in the kitchen area, cabinets, under the stove, fridge, etc

Demand Cs is my go to product. Normally I wouldn't use it for carpenter ants. Termidor Sc works better in killing entire colony.

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.

Once you open a bait container and leave the cap on it will last for months. it does kill the ants. you may have to apply more than once if there is a lot of ants.

I have them both. The 375a has not been effective for me on carpenter ants, so I use it for other types. The Carpenter Ant Bait works well for me on carpenter ants specifically, but give it a few days to be effective. Note also that I use them outside. Find the paths they travel and sprinkle some bait. It ends up eliminating those that have gotten into the house.

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.

I'm sorry but I don't know. I can tell you this though, this stuff really works. You won't regret using it but I used it indoors and also around the house and in various places in my basement and it stopped the carpenter ants and any other pests as well.

Yes, this product does work on Carpenter ants as well as many other insects.

This stuff kills everything. I did not have creature alive after I set it off. Stink bugs, ants, spiders were all dead. These were set off in my kitchen and even insects in the upstairs bedrooms with the doors closed were dead.

I've used it several times on fire ant mounds, it seems to be pretty effective,, whether it's more effective than some of the other products intended solely for that purpose remains unclear. I will say this though we had an issue with carpenter ants in our house that were almost impossible to stop , even our pest control company couldn't put a stop to the ants. Since I started spraying the Demon product pretty heavy around the perimeter 3 or 4 times a year we no longer have them inside the house.
