Susan from Wintergreen, Virginia writes
I have had carpenter ants damage to a house in a very wooded mountain location. Is this product good for treating carpenter ants and should it be sprayed around the house itself or should it be sprayed in the tree areas around the house? Will it hurt the wildlife?
Yes, Prime Source Imidacloprid 2F Select T/I is labeled for carpenter ants as a spot treatment in wood for active infestations and outside around the perimeter as a spray as well as around trees. Complete instructions on the product label.
The product also recommends ; Remove or prune away any shrubbery, bushes, and tree branches touching the structure. Vegetation touching the structure may offer a route of entry for ants into the structure. This may allow ants to inhabit the structure without coming in contact with the treatment. If nests are found, direct treatment of this product can be made to these nests.
It is safe for wildlife once dry.
