Naturally Get Rid of Carpenter Ants?

Carpenter ants have the ability to cause a lot of destruction to the wood of a home. They burrow through and create their nests inside wooden structures. Anyone who does not wish to rid his or her home of these pests with chemicals can do so naturally.

Sprinkling a mixture of borax and powdered sugar around the home's trouble spots can kill the ants. The sugar draws them to the substance, while the borax will kill the ants by destroying their bodies' outer structures.

Compared to insecticides, the borax is relatively safe. It does not contain the toxic fumes and residue which many commercial methods posses.
