I've seen a few ants in my house. I called two exterminators. No one has
been out yet. But, I get two very different stories:

One says carpenter ants are a MAJOR problem (much worse than termites) and
is hinting at a $600+ charge (they claim they are the only ones who do
this and THIS is the only way to remove them).

The other one doesn't think its that much of a fuss, and thinks it will
cost much less.

Both are coming tomorrow for an estimate.

I'd like to hear stories from others regarding carpenter ants.

TIA.

Gary
