In that situation a dust works very well to control the ants. A good insecticidial dust will float and cover the interior ant gallerys. Many times carpenter ants should be left to a professional. They can be difficult to control. Rid-All Pest Control uses organic methods there number is 214-340-6969.

:( I am also having a problem with carpenter ants. We only want to use organic solutions.

Anyone find a good one?

Catdog,

Let me know where these carpenter ants are located in the house and I will try to help. If rather than nesting in the house, they are in trees and foraging in the house, there is not much you can do. Trees are their natural nesting place.
