Is it work for carpenter ants?

If applied in active trails, possibly. Though Maxforce also offers a Carpenter Ant Gel Bait. Carpenter Ant treatments depend on region location and level of infestation. For heavy infestation inside of structures this would not be the best choice.

Absolutely! Our new home was sitting in carpenter ant heaven, battling for 5 yrs using professional exterminators & paying large sums. Maxforce & Advance are the 2 products I saw used. Max is a sweet substance, advance is a protein-ants go thru cycles between the 2. Place Maxforce in the path you've observed the ants travel. They take it back to nest to feed the queen etc. you may need to reapply many x's and maybe each yr if your wooded lot is as infested as ours. As time goes on, with practice you'll learn where to place the sweet gel or the protein sprinkles where carpenter ants respond best to take to their nest. But they DO WORK.

Here is the specific thing you need, but I also use the Taurus SC, which I dilute about 1oz. per 1 gallon of water, & I spray it around the entire perimeter of my house + my neighbor's house. The results are 100%. Me & my closest neighbor haven't seen 1 ant or really any bugs of ANY kind near or in our houses. No Hype here, this stuff is the real deal!..Here is the link for the gel application specifically for Carpenter Ants...http://store.doyourownpestcontrol.com/maxforce-carpenter-ant-bait-gel

By the reviews, this is suppose to work on ants. I have acres of land to treat. There are many kind of ants but the main problem ants are FIRE ants, red ants, & the big black ones ( not carpenter ants). I mix this granules with several other brands of ant killers and use a liquid product that is for ants also. I have found it is best to use it late evenings, place it around the beds and do every ant bed I find. I place the mix in a large shaker can or use a small scoop so I can go al around the edges of beds then I use the liquid to squirt the beds also. I live in the south, it is hot here. Ants are present almost all year round. All it seems like ant poisons do is they move their beds to another area. I've talked to our agriculture agents and other farmers, nothing works all of the time. You may kill one queen but as other eggs hatch, you have different ( new) ants to kill. is what I've been told. I have not tried burning like this agent suggested. One agent told me he used gasoline in his fields to and burned the beds but do not try it without someone to help you control any fire and do not use close to buildings or your home. I have standard poodles and also have rescued standards. I'd love to find a product I could say, yes it works. Products that worked on killing ants about 20 years ago have been outlawed now. Those worked.

Yes... I used it in my home to kill large black ants (placing a bead of optigard in window corners, molding edges and such) and they were gone within days. I then used it outdoors on a tree where a large colony of carpenter ants had been living (careful to put the bait in deep, where only the ants would get it and not hurt other wildlife) and within just a couple of days there was no more activity.

Sorry I ordered this for my son-in-law to use for ants. It works on termites and ants. Wish I could help more.

The product was designed to work best for subterranean termite control. Try Beneficial Nematodes for ants. Spray right on the moving ant trial. Bye Ants!!!!

Might want to check with the manufacturer, but I believe the 375a is for ants in general and the Select Carpenter ant bait specifically targets those type of ants.

It has so far worked on ALL types of ants. This includes the large red ants, fire ants and the smallest sugar ants.

I don't know. It works by cutting their exoskeleton which ants have. So may depend on if you can get them to travel through it.

An answer must first strongly suggest reading the Timbor "label" for efficacy and uses and handling instructions. That being said, I believe that timbor will kill carpenter ants but I don't know this as a fact. I've had my home professionally treated for dry-wood termites and sprayed my own garage ceiling and soffets for that critter. It is known to be effective on many other pests. All this being said I believe you can use this on your plastic soffets because Timbor is mostly a borax derivative and the carrier would be water.

FC Ant Killer is what I used. The add for it does in fact identify carpenter ants as one of the targeted species. I was getting some ants inside so I did some baiting indoors. However I noticed when I left my grill cover on the raised wood deck for a few days there were a number of carpenter ants hiding under it when I lifted it up. I treated that area and squirt some on the ground through the deck slats and recovered the area with the grill cover for 3 days (treating one additional time). Ants have disappeared.

Did not have Fleas, but it did kill a bunch carpenter ants. Not as fast as I thought they would though.

All we can tell you is that Advance 375a killed a bad infestation of Carpenter ants 18 months age and they have not returned. Good luck.Randy & Mary Kenny

It will kill them but do it yourself type products are not a true solution. If you have carpenter ants, a quality professional in the pest control industry should be consulted. I do construction work and have seen severe damage to structural beams, joists, etc that defy logic. They are as damaging as termites in my opinion but most people do not think that way until a wall starts to collapse and they have to call someone like me to repair it. Here is a link for a similar product- it does not list carpenter ants directly but says ants and additional types. I have used it on repair jobs for carpenter ants and it seemed to work for small problems. http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/msds/S%20Maxforce%20FC%20Pro%20Ctrl%20Ant%20Killer%20Bait%20Gel%20432-1264.pdf

Yes it will work perfectly to kill all the ants, roaches, etc. Indeed it kills all insects. This is a very powerful product. Since I introduced it in my home, no more roaches nor insects. Sprinkle around corners and little holes in your house especially in the kitchen area, cabinets, under the stove, fridge, etc

You bet. I have used this product on both the little red ants and the big black ones. I just dealt with a new onslaught from the other side of the yard (entering the house through some hidden crack in the foundation) this spring and honestly, they're gone.

Yes.. if it is not a HUGE one. Any things crawl works - like carpenter ants, bees... too
