I swear when it rains it pours. 2 weeks ago I had surgery on my hand so I'm very limited with what I can do. Last week someone got DH's account number and we had fraudulant charges... Yesterday I noticed carpenter ants in our deck.
We already have a service we're using to help contol the normal ants but carpenter ants so NOT cool. I noticed all wood shavings on the steps of our deck yesterday. DH went poking around and 2 steps are completely hollow. I started walking around the fence and there's a TON of large black ants going into the fence posts.
Like an idiot I thought ant spray would work so I wasted an entire can spraying the deck and fence to find out they're still alive. The exterimator is coming out tomorrow to do an estimate - luckily we can replace the stairs ourselves but if they're more in the deck I don't know what we're going to do. Anyone have experience with these buggers?
