Carpenter Ants and Boric Acid
Hi,
I suspect that there might be a carpenter ant nest in the walls (most likely the ceiling). Since I do not have a license, I can't buy the professional aresols available on the web. Forget the over-the-counter sprays. I sprayed, suffered two days with the smell (getting a sore throat). After the smell was gone, the ants were back. I'd like to drill a small hole into the ceiling and shoot boric acid around hoping to hit a nest. I'd also like to do the same with the walls. The walls may be a problem as this house was not insulated when it was built and at a much later date, insulation was blown in so shooting boric acid into the walls may not work. Perhaps the only thing that will work is an ant bomb. I'm trying to avoid this since both me and my husband work at home. I don't want to smell this. I have two questions: 1) What can I buy as a dispenser so I can shoot the boric acid into the ceiling? 2) If there is a nest in the wall, how can I handle this without an ant bomb? Thanks |
