Termites? Worse? Carpenter Ants?
Termite Inspection came back positive. Yikes. Around $700, cha-ching. Worse, carpenter ants have done their job on a tree in the back yard that needs to come down. $1500 or much more depending on steps necessary to bring it down without collateral damage. Yeah...
Suggestions? Like experiences?
Thanks folks...

My understanding is that termites eat the wood but carpenter ants live in the wood.
I have dealt with carpenter ants several times and it has never been a big deal. But, we might have caught it before the colony grew too large. It took a couple of weeks of treatment.
