Re: FLORIDA CARPENTER ANT problem on outside of house


Do any of you know-more-than-me people have any suggestions for
killing these outdoor pests? I hate to think of them creating a colony
within the wood of my home... albeit, they arent coming IN my house,
but wait till that one wise ant realizes that the box of ceral in teh
cupboard isnt all that far away and tells all his buddies!

Ive heard of Terro and people seem to have good luck with it, but my
issue is outside and pretty much on the top half of my house.. tried
amdro... and ive literally seen the red ants pick it up, move it a
foot or so away from the mount, and come back to move another... it is
like they got the memo that it is poison.

thanks SO MUCH in advance!

My favorite way of killing them is with a bait called Combat Ant
Killing Gel. Dont buy the Roach Killing Gel of the same name.

Its sold at Ace Hardware and it used to be at Home Depot but all I've
seen lately is a shelf space with a tag, but the shelf's always been
empty.
