Get Rid of Carpenter Ants

Hi

I just have a few questions about carpenter ants…

Do you need to use non-repellent insecticide to get rid of them?

I read somewhere that this is the only thing that works, as they can smell all other poisons and avoid them.

Is it okay to kill them in my house?

I also read that killing them (without insecticide. And yes, I know I can’t get rid of all of them this way.) makes the queen lay more eggs and you can end up with way more then what you started with.

Last question, will they destroy my guitar? I don’t know if the finish on it will deter them or not and I’m thinking if it doesn’t I may have to store it someplace…

Oh, and quick note: Did you know you can actually hear them chewing at night?? It’s so creepy o.O

~K~

A newly growing fire ant colony makes its home in my plaster ant farm. An enormous amount of brood can be observed.

Journey to the center of the…termite nest? Hard to believe this termite queen will produce almost 165 million eggs in her lifetime!

In this video I share with you how you can get rid of ant infestations permanently (nest and all) using ant baits. You can successful rid your home of these damaging and invasive insects without using harmful spray pesticides and a lot less expensively than using an exterminator. This has worked for me and I know it can work for you. So whether you have the tiny ones or the big black carpenter ants, including those with wings, these will work for you if you follow my recommendation for usage.Please remember to subscribe because I have so much more to come; something helpful and of interest to everyone.

Scout, worker, nurse and a female carpenter ants are filmed close up as they relocate a nest following heavy rain storms in Southeast region of the United States. Carpenter ants will many times get inside homes during this exodus and can cause damage if left untreated.
