Re: ants

Pam, I looked up bulls-Eye.  Sounds like a great product.  For Fire Ants it
is used on the mound to kill the ants.  Other applications instruct it to be
sprayed on plants.  I don't think this would work for my Carpenter Ant
situation.  I'm not trying to kill the ants; just to deter them from
entering my wood. The nests I had have been eradicated.  I just don't want
any more of them to imagine they see a Vacancy sign.
