If you have carpenter ants in your house that means they are living in your walls and that is a huge problem. I build alot of houses and work closely with an exterminator to pre-treat stud bays and the like before we seal up the house. He tells me if you are seeing carpenter ants its 99 percent likley they are living in the walls, they don't come in from the outside looking for food. They need sugars to survive, you have to treat your house perimeter inside and out to trap them in the wall so they starve to death. You must be dilligent and keep applying the product so they dont get out of the walls. They are also drawn to moist wood so any small leaks you have anywhere, roof windows, doors etc should be promptly taken care of. Ive seen first hand remodeling homes just how nasty these things can be.
