Getting rid of carpenter ants.?
I notice that I have a leak in my roof right by the stink pipe that is going outside from the bathroom. I went into the attic this morning and was checking to see if there was water that was sitting in the attic around it and when I moved the insulation by the pipe there were tons of big black ants, so I am thinking they were carpenter ants. The wood doesnt look like they have been eating at it, but what is the best way to get rid of them? I bought some ant killer this morning and doused that spot really good with it. Should I be concerned that they are all over in my attic or will they just be in that spot where the leak was? Should I have a exterminator come get rid of them, or since its almost winter will they just die off and I just wait til spring and see if they are back? I live in Michigan by the way. Thank you!
