You can google up all sorts of info on the boric acid/honey recipes, so you can mix your own up from commonly available stuff.

Having ants come in is one thing, but you always wonder if they are nesting in the walls. Carpenter ants prefer wet wood to chew out for nesting space, so the remark about them appearing following the wet weather makes me wonder if you have a problem with water getting in somewhere. Common places would be around windows (typically not installed and flashed correctly) and at corner boards, where the housewrap or tarpaper wasn't wrapped around the corner before the corner boards and siding were installed.
