If one ant was in your house (any type of ant) others will follow... they leave a phermone trail - so follow by smell.
Carpenter ants nest in wood, but I believe eat protein. So if they have found a food source inside your home (like scraps of meat or grease thrown into an open waste basket) - they will keep coming back. Like I said if you have one, its buddies either have, or will, come into your home.
If you have an old home with any soft or damp wood, they will chew it up to make a nest in it, and infest your house - especially if they have a food source.
I have heard that sprinkling Borax laundry powder around your foundation, door thresh-holds and basement window sills will kill them... but don't know for sure. (Be sure to keep kids away from it - pets too, I would imagine.)
I think they supposedly carry the granuals of Borax to their nest and eat it and that is what kills them - but again, not positive.

Flax provided the fibre which w
