Black Carpenter Ants

I was dumb enough to put some fire wood in my barn last fall. I started noticing the little piles of wood dust last week. I assume it's the fire wood and not the rain, but who knows. The problem is, judging from the wood dust locations, the ants are on the underside of the roof...about 40 feet up. Not sure what to do in this case except seek a professional's help (anyone know of an exterminator in the Meredith area?). The next problem is I have bats in the barn in the same general area and don't want to kill them. Lesson learned.
