I am being invaded by what I am told are carpenter ants.

They are similar in size to fire ants but do not bite.

What they do is to IRRITATE me by getting on my body, my counter tops, etc., etc.

Is there a product that I can mix with water so as to spray them?

Boric acid works but if it were my house, I'd call an exterminator. Carpenter
ants will destroy a house. If you see them, it's already a serious problem.
