Hi, I've got a large cherry tree that's infested with either termites or
carpenter ants.
I noticed at the bottom of tree what appeared to be sawdust, cleaned it
up and the next day it was back.
Today I sprayed Bonide Termite and Carpenter Ant Killer into the two
holes they were using and the critters poured out of the tree. They
appear to have two parts to the body (part near the head is smaller than
the part at the rear and fairly large head wiith good sized pinchers.
The Bonide spray seems to work but I suspect they'll just burrow into the
tree at a another location how do I permantely get rid of them?
Thanks,
Mike
could be a number of type of ants, but all of them are beneficial to the
tree...they are not killing your tree but excavating in already
diseased/rotted wood. They are just a symptom of another issue.
