Carpenter ants are typically hidden inside the wood. This makes them exceedingly difficult to locate and identify, which makes removal a real problem. Thus, carpenter ants can go unnoticed for a long time. The best way to get rid of carpenter ants is to locate the nest and eliminate the queen. Here are some steps to help you find and eliminate a carpenter’s ant nest inside and outside.

• Bait: Carpenter ant bait can kill ants by placing it close to their nest or along the ants’ trail. Carpenter ants can leave their nests to search for food in your home; thus, ant bait traps are a common method of getting rid of them, particularly if you can’t find or access the colony. Bait food contains scents such as honeydew or other sweet foods that lure carpenter ants to leave a scent trail and return the bait to their nests.
   
• Find the nest: Finding and treating carpenter ant nests is essential for all effective carpenter ant control methods. Carpenter ants typically build their nests in damp and rotting wood. Their nests can be found inside or outside the house, and identifying them is difficult unless you track the trailing ants back to their source. 
   
• Remove scent trails: For carpenter ants, pheromone trails are essential for traveling and locating food sources. By cleaning the surface where carpenter ants have been, you can destroy the trails of your home’s hidden treasure. You can wipe off the surface by applying essential oils like tea tree, lemon, orange, or cedarwood to a cotton ball to obstruct these trails.
