George from Port Gibson Ms. writes
Termidor is only labeled to be used around the perimeter of the structure for ant treatment. The Carpenter Ant Kit #1 consists of baits that the Carpenter Ants will eat and take back to their nest. They will then feed the bait to the queen and the other colony members and in turn the product will kill all of the ants in the colony. This is important because once the colony is eliminated, you will not have to battle them again. That being said, these baits are very safe and completely harmless to trees or plant life outside. The ants will not move to another location or to your house. These products are a bait that the carpenter ants are attracted to and will want to eat, so it will not cause them to move away from it. Follow the instructions on the packaging.
