I have a timber frame home and carpenter ants have an established nest in my structural panels. What do i do?

I have a timber frame home and carpenter ants have an established nest in my structural panels. What do i do? I do not see any outside but there is frass and visible ants coming from the wooden panels covering the SIPS. I have tried maxforce bait and they are not interested in it. I don't know how to get the poison to the nest because of how my house is built. My email is linaraynes@verizon.net and I would appreciate any feedback you can give to me

The best thing to do is to drill through the wall where the ants are in inject Termidor Foam into the walls. You will have to drill through the panels. Drill every 1 square foot in a checkerboard pattern. The only other option if you don't want to drill the panels is to use the KM Ant Pro System and feed them outdoors - which is where they normally feed anyway.
