Get Rid of Carpenter Ants

We had an issue with carpenter ants in our garage so I had a pest guy come out and do an inspection and he said the damage was limited to the garage and there was no evidence of anything in the house. So he sprayed five days ago for the ants in the garage and for camel crickets in the basement. There was also a tree stump right outside my house where the previous owners built the deck around a tree. We cut down the tree and the stump is there, so I poured termite repellent from walmart on it.

The past couple days there have been so many bugs in my house. I don’t know if it’s because it’s warming up and we’ve spent more time outside (so doors have been open more), or if the spraying sent bugs out of their normal hiding spots. I’ve killed like 7 ants in my house today alone. There was some weird beetle that I’ve never seen before crawling across my counter, several other cockroaches (which we rarely see), several not dead yet crickets, and I pulled the couch forward to wash the windows and there was literally a sea of dead and dying gnats on the window sill and floor. I mean, thousands of them.

What’s going on? Where are these bugs coming from?

We have ants, for about 2 wks we have seen carpenter ants in the kitchen and living room. Maybe 5 or 6 ants a day. I can’t find a trail outside where they are coming in, but sometimes when I open the front door 3 or 4 are waiting for the door to open and they try coming in. Prior to a few wks ago, I had NEVER seen an ant in the house. The home is fairly new (8 yrs old and I have lived here 6 of those 8 years). We have never had any problems with bugs of any kind (with the one exception being ladybugs). What can I do to get rid of them? We do not have any wood near our home other than a few trees (that are not dead/dying). I have 2 small children so I am afraid to put anything dangerous out that they could find and get sick from. HELP! Is this just a spring time thing that will pass? Thanks!

Ugh! This has been a horrible bug summer for us!

I’ve killed say, 7 winged carpenter ants total, and 2 large ones without wings. I know where they are (kitchen sink wall), but how can I get rid of them?

I thought about spraying their entry way into the kitchen, but it’s behind a loose light fixture and there’s probably live wires behind it. We don’t have the money to tear out the wall or anything.

Bait them and hope it works? We used duct-tape to seal off all sides of the light, and I’ve only seen 2 winged ones since then, killed one and the other disappeared. We have no other bugs in the house.

Any suggestions? I’m thinking sealing the area off will just make them destroy the wall studs faster, but I don’t know what to do…

Boracare Drywood and Subterranean Termite treatment has many advantages compared to other types of treatments. Fumigation is able to eliminate all drywood termites if done properly, however it does not prevent termites from coming back since the gas which kills termites during the fumigation is highly toxic and does not stay. The drowback of fumigation however is that while in theory it is supposed to eliminate all drywood termites, in practice it rarely happens, sometimes not even due to the fault of fumigators. Also, fumigation is being abused heavily and many houses get entirely tented to expose the fumigant to entire building, while there are many exposed areas as well as many areas where termites merely cannot infest. Boracare, not Timbor foaming cannot eliminate all drywood termites since there always will be areas which is impossible to treat, however in most cases the house can receive a better treatment with Boracare as opposed to fumigation since there is no risk of hidden gas, weather factors, subcontracting with “price wars” among termite salesmen which in many cases makes fumgiations not good quality. Also, Boracare stays on the wood and penetrates deep into it. Professional termite companies also pay extra attention to most important structural and most risky wood members in house while manually using Boracare. For instance, if fumigation fails partially it will fail in any area, including the more suspected and dangarous area which are exposed exterior wood …
