The best way to identify and treat carpenter ant holes in a wooden structure is to first locate the holes, which are typically round and smooth. Once identified, you can use a combination of insecticidal dust or spray to treat the holes and eliminate the ants. It is also important to address any moisture issues in the structure to prevent future infestations.
