Will carpenter ants eat a flag?

I just noticed what I think are carpenter ants buzzing about, they dont seem to be going for any wood, but this american flag that I think belonged to my granddad seems to have a few extra holes. Would the ants eat the flag or is it just my imagination?

Carpenter ants in Texas?

I have tried just about everything. I removed landscaping timbers. Sprayed in and around the house. Drilled holes in the walls. Does anyone have any idea how to get rid of them without mortgaging my house to an exterminator?

Do carpenter ants ruin cherry trees?

Leaves have holes in them, and I see ants all over it. Would fruit tree spray help this? Its a 4 yro tree and its still not bearing any fruit. Thanks.

Americans – how do you protect your house from termites?

it seems very expensive here in Europe, the man wants to drill holes in my walls every 8 inches and inject poison. This is just to prevent termites, we don’t have them already.

Does anyone know what to do if you see termites around an outdoor patio area?

I have a bond and recently they found some activity in one of the outdoor baiting stations. They said it was nothing to worry about. Lately I have noticed termites around the light on my back patio. There are lots of them on my back table and on the ground but no trails or holes that I notice. Please help. I just bought the house a few months ago. It had previous termite issues but they were repaired, treated, etc. and the bond is supposed to be a good one. I live in Mobile, Alabama.

What is best product to use for termites?

I have termites and got two bids which are comparable around ,100. One Company uses Sentricon which uses tubes and a bait system over a 2 year period. The tubes are in the ground, scanned and monitored periodically for termites. After that I would have to pay 5 per year annually if I want to continue. The other Company usesTermidor and provides a 1 year warranty. With Termidor they drill holes and spot treat. After that I have to pay 7 per year. Has anyone had experience with either of these? What are the advantages or disadvantages with either?
I need to treat existing termites as well as PREVENT them. How can I do both?

How to get rid of carpenter ants in my car?

I parked under a tree for about 2 days and now it seems like somewhere in my car is infested with carpenter ants. They seem to be coming out of the front of the dashboard where the air conditioning holes are. How can i get rid of them?

I looked for ant killers at the local store but all the ones I can use in the car don’t kill carpenter ants…

Thanks in advance
they look like this: http://citybugs.tamu.edu/FastSheets/images/carpenter_ant.gif
