Default Outside Carpenter Ant Problem

zano wrote:

I have a huge colony of Carpenter Ants that reside in a tree on my
propery. I've tried so many chemicals over the years and nothing
works. They continue to hollow out my tree because I see huge piles
of saw dust every week in the summer at the base of my tree. I can
see where they go into the tree about 5 feet off the ground. I've
sprinked Diazonon everywhere and it doesn't help. How can I kill this
colony of Ants?

Thanks

They are actually a help to the tree rather than a problem. They are
cleaning out diseased/rotted wood from the interior of the tree. you can
find Advanced carp Ant bait over the web and it will work well if you
feel the ants must go.
