It is listed in the description, but I don't have that problem. The product does keep insects outside.

The product will work on carpenter ants. Sprinkle evenly in a two foot band around your foundation. For 3 month contro, apply 2.5 pounds per 625 square feet. Water the area immediately after application.

Hi,I checked the bottle and it is listed. We have never used it for that, but I have had great results with the product.

I've used it for earwigs, but I've noticed that other insects aren't making any appearance inside like they have when looking for a warm place to stay in winter.

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

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.

I sprinkled a can of the carpenter ant bait around the perimeter of the house for two years in a row and still had a carpenter ant crisis this week! The exterminator was here for four hours yesterday, used a battery of different products, and described treatment on a monthly basis for six months and possibly a year. The ants that show up are only about from 1% to 3% of the colony present!

Termidor works best when sprayed where ants are currently active. It's a tracking solution that will go with them back to their colony before beginning to kill them.

I am sorry I cannot give you an absolute answer, I have only used it on fire ants, but I will try it on other ants and let you know!

Greg, In general its not a wise choice to spray any kind of concentrate for ants. The reasons are many but the big one is that they can detect most any active. And once they detect it, they'll stay off the treated surface and avoid where its been applied. This will usually force them elsewhere and essentially complicate the situation. And since the ants you see represent less 10% of the local nest, even if you did kill all the ones you see it wouldn't solve the problem. So what do you do? Well for starters, don't spray inside the home. Instead use a bait. Something like Maxforce Ant Gel or Optigard Ant Gel. These options will readily be accepted by any foraging ant and within a few days, be brought back to their nest and once ingested, kill a bunch of the colony. At the same time you should spray the homes exterior with a "non repellent" active such as Phantom, Optigard Flex or Dominion. These actives won't be detectable by the ants and in turn, they'll readily walk over the treatment. This will allow them to "transfer" the active to other members of their colony so when the active finally does "kicks in" and goes to work, it will kill most if not the entire nest. That will usually happen in 3-4 days following the initial application. The good news is any ants surviving this will in turn know to stay away from the old ant trails for fear of something "bad" in the area so even if you don't kill them all, the non repellents will usually take care of the problem by forcing them elsewhere. Give us a call if you need more advice; its kind of hard to explain all of this via a post. Cheers, Jonathan Customer Care U-Spray Bugspray

I'm glad you asked this question. I thought it would, but I had never tried it on ants. I learned something new when I checked the other 4 answers. I'm sorry I couldn't help you, but I'm glad you helped me. Thanx! Tim Drain.

Oh my, so sorry! I know nothing about the ants mentioned, but the Advion took care of a swarm of carpenter ants. Supposedly the ants travel back to their queen with this chemical which she ingests and ends that cycle, allegedly. Google the topic to see what pops up.

I have no clue, i just know it got rid of my ants after everything else failed. Just used some more a few weeks ago after i noticed a small swarm entering home again. No sign of them since the day i applied it. This stuff is worth a try.

I say yes. I am by no means a spokesperson for Timbor, yet a product user & feel that this product would assist your efforts with carpenter ants. I would suggest that you take a few minutes to review the product info on the Nisus website link here. http://nisuscorp.com/architects/products/tim-bor-professional. The comment below id from that website. "The dust provides an additional layer of protection by killing carpenter ants, drywood alates and adult wood boring beetles that enter the structure and pass through it." Hope this helps! Thnx!

Yes! I mainly use it for sugar ants. Let them take the bait back to their "nest"...meaning...you need to let them crawl around for a day after leaving the bait out without killing them. Once it's been out for a day or two you will notice...no more ants. Many months later you may notice a return, if it's a problem area but you'll have the Terro on hand!

yo. dont waste your money- i put this bait out ants wouldnt get near it and when i put them on it they would run for cover your best bet is to mix 0ne half cup borax soap and one cup sugar this will do the trick good luck!!!!!!

When I lived in Florida I tried it with no luck. For the fire ants I used diazinon. The diazinon had to be repeatedly treated to control the population of fire ants.

I have only heard stories, some people say it worked, some - didn't. It didn't work for me for ants, either. But I guess, we either got a serious invasion or I bought too little to do the big job. In honesty, Orkin didn't help either. We found another company that got rid of them naturaly. Wonders happen. So, if You have termites, I'd advise You to seek professional help - otherwise You'd put too much money into this product, too much time and efforts, and there is no guarantee. This is what I'd do. But at the end - it's Your decision. Good Luck!

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.
