Yes, I did once and it works wonders for carpenter ants just like it did for Cockroaches, Palmetto bugs, Waterbugs, Ants, and Silverfish. You can try it following this recipe:
1 Tablespoon of Boric Acid, 1 tsp of Sugar, 4 oz water, Cotton Balls. Mix Boric Acid and Sugar in a bowl. This can be poured over a cotton wad in a small dish or bottle cap. Keep this from drying out for continued effectiveness. Place Cotton balls in the path of your ants. :thumbup:
