We had a big carpenter ant problem last year. I shot a line of that gooey jelly under the bottom of the siding where it hit the foundation. GONE
If it happens again I'll try that Terro stuff thanks Spence

Do you have the name of that gooey jelly handy?, and is it chemical based. Anyone know of any "natural" product you can protect your foundation perimeter with. I have heard that motor oil works wonders but I could never bring myself to do that. Not enviro friendly, probaby illegal, and I am extremely chemical phobic. I probably use a couple hundred rubber gloves a year and that is mostly staying away from anything "chemical". Yes I know they probably make a pill for that.

I have had great results with borax and powdered sugar. I also have some natural borax syrup that works well. That kills them on the inside, but would like a way to protect the perimeter.
