How do I rid my garden and deck of carpenter ants?
I live in Ct. in a wooded area. I've been here for 5yrs and only seen
a few carpenter ants. Today I've seen 100s on my deck and around my flower gardens. I've also noticed many of them carring {oblong eggs?] Does anyone have any suggestions{other than moving] Thanks Klein |

The ants nest in dead wood. Also, get some borax laundry soap (20 Mule Team is a brand name) and sprinkle it around the deck, gardens etc. The ants will pick it up and take it back to their nest for food but they don't know it's really poison Re-apply the borax after it rains or a heavy dew. You need to take action now, because they are looking for a place to start new nest either in your deck or worse your house. Randy Share the View. http://ruralroute2.com |
