When we moved into this house about 10 years ago, it was infested
with carpenter ants and the enterminator used Dursban he had to
take the clapboards off and destroy their nesting places. My hus-
band does the same thing about every two years or when I see those
tell-tale carpenter ants lurking about the property. It is the
only thing that got rid of them and we tried other things.
Just our experience.
In case anyone is wondering and before the nameless folks write
a nasty note to Marte, a new subscriber, I wrote her discussing
our colder climates, etc.
Cheers,
Ellen
