Topic: What appear to be carpenter ants Posted: 14 Aug 2021 at 2:15pm |
Carpenter ants need water. I had a problem with them at my house. This sent them running and keling over https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D6WVZ9W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

For decades we have used Terro in our garage, occasionally in the house (the few times we have ever had an issue with them), and a couple times in our 10+ year old 177. I have never tried this on carpenter ants but on black, red and the tiny sweet sucking ants. 100% elimination and satisfaction every time - it is a great product.

Jim.
Thank you for your response. Are there different applications of TORO? If so which one did you use?

Hi Bob and Roz,
We like the Name as well. Congratulations on picking out a Great Name! We named ours when we picked it up back in March 2011.
The Terro we use (as far as I know it is the only one Terro has) is 5.4% sodium tetraborate decahydrate (borax). Consistancy of a thin honey. Just follow the directions on the bottle. We normally put a few drops on a piece of thick paper or thin cardboard and place it in the path of where they travel. Kind of fun to watch them as the process continues.

Terro also comes in a granular form as well. That’s what I sprinkle around the stabilizers as well as the tires and tongue jack. Trying to create a barrier to access.
