We started to prep to paint the exterior of our house and found Carpenter Ants in the siding, massive nests. We sprayed and pulled 5 of the boards off that have some damamge and are going to have to be replaced. How can we know if they are in the frame of the home w/o tearing everything apart (taking off the plywood)?
I read that they are lazy and that they only nest in rotten wood....so, we really shouldn't have to worry about the frame (1969, no damage to plywood)???
