You bet! Hopefully your deck is made of treated wood. But the fact that they're roaming around so close to the house is cause for concern. There are several good carpenter ant remedies available. One that I'm a believer in is a syrup type stuff inside a packet on a flat 3" spike. Place one at either end of that deck and space a couple around the exterior perimeter of the house. That will take care of them. You may need to do this a coulple times a year. My house was BADLY infested. I set only three down in the area of infestation spaced about 15 feet apart, with one of them up in a second floor room. A future remodeling job showed what they did, but there was NO EVIDENCE OF ANY LIVE ACTION! Not even any dead bodies!
