I had (past tense) carpenter ants. The pro at the expensive pest
control place said they are almost impossible. Repeated
treatments, $175 per treatment.

One application of this (squirted some in a jar lid, and left it
on the table) and havn't seen an ant since. No kidding!

Hint: Don't buy a lot of stuff on your first order from this
catalog, cause they keep sending catalogs. And every couple
catalogs they have a "Buy $25 and get $25 freee" coupon on front
or back.

You have to starve them.

tightly
