Today, I get a call from my wife telling me there is a swarm of ants in our house surrounding one of the baseboards down stairs. I bought some spray and we took care of them. But, we are also seeing a few dead carpenter ants here and there. After researching we have learned that they are much tougher to kill. They only come out at night and never move in large packs. Carpenter ants are also very destructive as they eat the wood in your home and can do some serious damage if left alone. The good thing is they reproduce slowly. The key in removing them is to find the main colony which is usually outside and can be up to 200 yards away. What is in our house is a satellite colony.
In other words, what we are seeing is not the root of the problem, but a symptom. If we find and deal with the root of the problem, the symptoms will go away. The same is true in life.
