In Reply to: Carpenter Ants ? posted by Billy NY on March 12, 2014 at 11:20:32:
I had a problem with carpenter ants about 6 years ago , I cut some yellow locust wood in late fall early winter. It was cold enough they were dormant. A long came summer and I was setting in my shop studying a manual and kept hearing a grinding or knowing noise. I walked outside and the closer I got to my wood pile 30 feet away the noise kept getting louder. I saw saw dust around the pile (5 logs wide and 18 feet long by 7 foot tall), it looked like someone had sawed wood for as much sawdust was on the ground around it . I moved a log and there were literally thousands of ants. I was in shock . I went to the house and got the wife and showed her. She was also surprised. I was ready move the whole pile and start a fire. She told me to wait . The next day she went to the hardware store and they recommended a chemical to spray around the pile and on the wood. . The hardware guy told her to spray this stuff and spray it again in a couple of days . I wish I could remember what it was because I have never seen them since. I learned to be careful of what wood I cut if I can . If not anything with bugs or ants gets burned directly in the stove and not piled inside . I know this is not always an option for everbody. I am totally amazed how much saw dust they can make in a couple of days. Jeff (JJ) '
