I would have thought it'd be a better idea
to get up off the ground and go into the
house. But it sounds like the two of you
were probably having fun, anyway.

I've dealt with a lot of carpenter ant nests
in wet, rotted wood. I've never seen them
come back. There's nothing of interest to
them inside a house.

Maybe they weren't really carpenter ants. I never saw their union
card. They were the really big ants.
The bottom line was we tore that room down to the block in a remodel
after that and I never found a bit of water damaged wood.
They had satellite nests set up with eggs in any dark spot they could
find.

This is Florida and ants are everywhere. They are a lot tougher to
kill than the northern ants, based on what I read people say.
I haven't seen an ant that would eat Terro or Amdro in over 2 decades.
These guys are very selective. The last batch of tiny ants I had would
only eat chili, not just the beef or anything else I saw them walk
past. OI caught them all over a little drop on the counter and I made
"chili bait" they are gone now. I had been fighting them for over a
month and I could not figure out where they were coming from or what
they would eat.

I suppose ants all over the kitchen counter for a month would bother
you enough to get rid of them?
