I had the same problem, but I left it alone and after a couple of days the ants were gone. I wrote a negative review based on first impression, and I feel bad about that. Good luck.

I think the product works well. Last Spring, most days I saw a couple carpenter ants here and a couple there - outside my house. And in a 1-week period - 3 inside my house (The ones inside my house might have come inside to forage for food because they just woke up from hibernating somewhere outside). I sprinkled about 1/2 bottle around the outside of my house and now I haven't seen any ants - not even the smaller black ones that are usually outside my house. Now that the ants are less of them - or gone, the spiders in the grass have multiplied - More spiders in my house.

PLEASE NO NO NO!!!!! Kills the ants well and will not hurt pets. BUT NEVER USE IT ON THEM!

I am sorry I cannot give you an absolute answer, I have only used it on fire ants, but I will try it on other ants and let you know!

My apologies Marilyn I spoke too soon.Try tree tanglefoot in the 15 ounce tub.I've only used the one type for spiders and insects in the house. It works great there.Tanglefoot says that Tree Tanglefoot is specifically for your problem, ants and other insects.Next time I will do more research before I answer.Good luckWalt

Seems to work for spiders which we had a lot of, but not for ants. I've also found that replacing them every year works well. I haven't heard mouse activity since replacing the old ones, so I plan on buying new ones every fall from now on. I hope this helps!

I have used on the the common household ants and I am amazed at the results! No more ants!

I have had mine for a year now and it still works great! I have only had to use it one additional time since the original application. Haven't seen an ant.

No - I used about 2" of the tube output to kill what seemed like 1k ants. I have 99% of the tubes still left. But for the small cost of the four pack, it's still an insane deal..even if I never use any more ;-)

I bought 3, 2lb. jugs to treat a multitude of mounds on a horse ranch (several acres). They were small to medium ant mounds, distributed all over the place (I did not count, there were so many). I only used 1½ jugs, so 3 lbs. to rid the ENTIRE ranch of Fire ants! They call me the Fire Ant Fairy. :) Yes, as Steven F. said, a little goes a long way. Follow directions...you'll see results in a day (2 days max)!

Interesting. After a two or three days all the ants are gone. No dead bodies to speak of. Not many if any ants in the bait. I have two baits going today and expect the black ant trails to be gone tomorrow . So far the baits have worked.

We had carpenter ants. I tried every thing and nothing worked. I then purchased Maxforce ant bait. The ants are gone. Just stick the up on the wall or floor and let it work. You do not have to put them in direct line of an ant trail. I put my in the area of where I saw the ants. It did take about two weeks before they were all gone.

Hi Dorothy, thanks for the question. I actually purchased this for the treatment of carpenter ants! I had a terrible invasion in a dead Fig tree limb, you should have seen them! Unfortunately I cannot post links here, but if you go to YouTube and search "boric acid kill ants" I'd suggest the videos by CupRockTv as well as gregthegardner. I don't own those videos, but I just did a bit if checking for you and I can recommend them. Let me know if you need anything else and have a fantastic day!-Nic

While not an expert on ants, I do believe (based on the pictures) that I have some carpenter ants at my cabin. This Terro Ant Killer has greatly reduced my ant problem with all ants. There are still a few but nothing like before. For the price, it's definitely worth trying. I've got to order some more for my mother who has an infestation of thousands of small ants in her house. Wish I could answer your question with 100% certainty. I would, however, be surprised if it didn't work on carpenter ants. Terro has a website where they will answer any questions or concerns that you might have. http://www.terro.com/guide-ants.php While not an expert on ants, I do believe (based on the pictures) that I have some carpenter ants at my cabin.
