Would this work on big black carpenter ant mounds? Thanks.

It specifically mentions only fire ants and red harvester ants; no others. There is a phone number that you can call for information which is 1-800-225-2883.

I don't know. I did not use it on carpenter ants. I did however, have other ants besides fire ants and carpenter ants, and it did work on those.

It will kill them but do it yourself type products are not a true solution. If you have carpenter ants, a quality professional in the pest control industry should be consulted. I do construction work and have seen severe damage to structural beams, joists, etc that defy logic. They are as damaging as termites in my opinion but most people do not think that way until a wall starts to collapse and they have to call someone like me to repair it. Here is a link for a similar product- it does not list carpenter ants directly but says ants and additional types. I have used it on repair jobs for carpenter ants and it seemed to work for small problems. http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/msds/S%20Maxforce%20FC%20Pro%20Ctrl%20Ant%20Killer%20Bait%20Gel%20432-1264.pdf

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.

I don't know the answer as I only have a 2 acre yard and am spraying ant hills as I find them. If you have an Extension Service near you they can probably give you the answer. Forgot to say this product really works!

I've only used this for black ants. They LOVE it.....at least mine do. I put that down and they come out of the hills in droves to pick it up and carry it away. Then the next day they're completely gone. I put this in the driveway and sidewalk cracks and I just don't get ants anymore.

You betcha. Most of my ant problems are black carpenter ants. The only thing about these baits that would limit their use is that they are liquid, so if you can't leave them in place, undisturbed, for the time it takes to work, say the only place you've seen the ants is a high traffic area, then they're not effective. Luckily for me (not so lucky for the ants) is that there's usually more than one trail on which they travel, and one of them is bound to be low traffic.

This has ALWAYS worked for me. First you see a few ants and then when you come back a while later there are hordes of ants, its quite unnerving but you have to let it happen. Then suddenly they're gone and its over. I use this with house/black ants. Never fails.

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.

I don't see why not. I put it around my wooded retaining wall and within a few days there were piles of dead ants all over the place. I haven't seen any more since. And that has been about a year ago.

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.

We had carpenter ants. I tried every thing and nothing worked. I then purchased Maxforce ant bait. The ants are gone. Just stick the up on the wall or floor and let it work. You do not have to put them in direct line of an ant trail. I put my in the area of where I saw the ants. It did take about two weeks before they were all gone.

This would seem particularly unsuited to outdoor use.Nothing comes with it but the can of Thick liquid.It could be applied directly to the bar on the trunk.But watching ant behavior they would simply climb over the bodies of the answer already stuck.You might try a garlic water sprayOr boric acid.But ants are creative and determined.Nothing sticky will last outsideIn an environment of blowing dust, pollen ,grass clippings, etc..Good luck

It will but this product worked much better than the dust if you have them in the house. Outdoors the dust is better. TERRO Ant Killer Liquid Ant Baits (pre-filled) , Pack of 1

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

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.

Hey! I've been fighting 10 acres of fireants at my outdoor concert facility. Yes it killed/moved the ants fairly well however treating 3-500 mounds several times a year would have been insanely expensive. The most effective cost efficient method has come down to poke a hole in the mound as deep as you can. Pour a dribble of gasoline into the hole. Kill the queen and the mound is done. Miss her and there's a new mound. Estimate 80/90% effective. Yeah yeah... Not eco correct but 5 gallons a year verses a couple hundred lbs. of approved poison... Seems better to me.
