Terminix recommends drilling 1/8″ holes every six inches in the area where you suspect the nest might be. Then, use a bulb duster to “puff” boric acid through the holes. (The boric acid will kill the ants.) You might have to repeat treatments multiple times in order to destroy the nest.

How do you find a carpenter ant nest?
Carpenter ants prefer to nest in moist wood or structures already damaged by other insects. As a result, most carpenter ant nests are found in decaying wood in areas such as windows, chimneys, sinks, doorframes or bath traps and in hollow spaces such as wall voids.
