Question:

Carpenter ants in cabin at lake between the ceiling and the log beam. Have tried poisons with no success. Tree frogs climbing up stucco wall above nook window and making mess of window and leaving droppings all over.

Answer:

The frogs live on the ants and other bugs so to get rid of them you have to do away with the food supply. Doing away with the ants will mean doing away with the queen because unless you do, they'll be there long after you are not. Remember, these little critters were here before us, are far better organized than we ever will be, and show no signs of leaving before us.
