anyone ever have an issue with carpenter ants. We have an infestation of them. waiting for a reply from exterminator. They are no common to south Florida. Must have picked them up on trip north.
Look for their source. I had them all over my RV one year and I tore into everything looking for a leak. I found that they were coming from a pile of wood waiting to be split next to my RV. As I was splitting I found entire colonies of them in the dead wood. I've had them in a house I was remodeling. There was a leak above a window and when I pulled the tape balance out of the jamb thousands poured out. They seek out wet wood normally.
