Does this work with carpenter ants?

I don't know if they work on carpenter ants. I had the little black ants but it's worth a try, just read the directions carefully.

I think it will. It works with fire ants, and they are difficult to get rid of. This is the best product for killing ants--period.

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.

Yes. The best trap I have ever gotten. Just have to be careful of spilling them.

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.

NO. Made to catch bed bugs only. There is a talc powder covering of this trap that damages their exoskeleton. I do not think it would have any affect on an ant.

I rather doubt it, for it does not work on ants. I don't think insects and Arachnida are susceptible to high frequencies.

yes it does kill carpenter ants. I used it for termites and it is a terrific product. The ants will carry the foam backto the nest where it will kill all that come in contact with it.

mary, i don't know - maybe you would get a better answer checking with terro? they worked on teeny tiny light brown ants, they worked on medium black ants, too.

I have not had a problem with carpenter ants, but so many other pests in and around my south Florida home. I have already purchased Termidor Foam 3 times in the past year because I do not want to be without it. It has worked wonders for me with termites, smaller black ants, roaches, spiders, etc.

Absolutely! Our new home was sitting in carpenter ant heaven, battling for 5 yrs using professional exterminators & paying large sums. Maxforce & Advance are the 2 products I saw used. Max is a sweet substance, advance is a protein-ants go thru cycles between the 2. Place Maxforce in the path you've observed the ants travel. They take it back to nest to feed the queen etc. you may need to reapply many x's and maybe each yr if your wooded lot is as infested as ours. As time goes on, with practice you'll learn where to place the sweet gel or the protein sprinkles where carpenter ants respond best to take to their nest. But they DO WORK.

We use it in Australia. Don't think we have any carpenter ants here. My friend highly recommended it and it works here.

the only wat this is effective on ants is to mix in substance that ants like to eat. i mix sugar,water, and the borax for the typical sugar ant. some ants like more of a fatty sunstance like peanut butter, so i have used that too. carpenter ants are attracted to moisture, so u might wants to mix it with just water, spreading it dry will eventually work, but it takes forever. the thing you need to do is getthem to walk in the borax cause it gets on thier bodies and literally cuts them so bad they dehydrate to death. google search it too, for more tips

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 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.

Carpenter ants are a pain!. I use a sugar and borax mixture to kill the whole lot of them works better than anything else I've tried.good luck!

Yes it does, but if you have an Ant nest inside your house, you have to take care of that first. This product is what the exterminators use to keep pests from getting inside

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.

No, you may disturb the nest, causing the queen to move to another location. I would spray around the nest, several feet away, so that when 'scouts' leave the nest they will walk over the sprayed area and then track it back into the nest. I had Carpenter ants and I never found the main nest, I did find 2 satellite nests. All I did was spray the sides of my house and the trunks of 8 trees, up to about 5 feet high. About a week later found about 100+ dead ants in a bathroom light fixture that was built into the ceiling. Since then I haven't seen any, that was Oct 2014.
