Are there any solutions to these effers?

I've had good results using products from this outfit. Generally anything you can buy in a Lowe's type store (like Amdro) is worthless. The ants ignore it. These guys solved my carpenter ant problem when nothing else I tried bothered the little bastards.

Terro is good - and that outfit has Deltadust, which I’ve heard is also very good.

They also sell AMDRO PowerFlex (Hydramethylnon). It is the active ingredient which matters - some do not work in wet environments, others need to be wetted to be effective. AMDRO may not work very well were you live, but be very effective in other locations.

Termidor SC (Fipronil 9.1%) works on carpenter and crazy ants according to domyownpestcontrol.com - outdoors only.

Some states do not allow unlicensed applicators for some products and so those products are not for sale to the general public.
