Carpenter Ant Control Experts

Expert Carpenter Ant Control

Carpenter ants are among the most destructive household pests in the country. Unlike termites, they don't eat wood — they excavate it to build their nests, leaving behind smooth, hollowed-out galleries and piles of sawdust-like frass. Carpenter ants prefer moisture-damaged wood but will tunnel through sound wood as colonies grow. A single colony can contain thousands of workers, and they often establish satellite colonies inside wall voids, attics, and foam insulation. Over-the-counter sprays rarely reach the colony. Our pest control professionals locate both the parent and satellite colonies using targeted inspection techniques and apply professional treatments that eliminate the entire colony system.

Signs of Infestation

• Piles of fine sawdust-like frass near baseboards or window sills
• Large black ants (1/4 to 1/2 inch) seen indoors, especially at night
• Faint rustling or crinkling sounds inside walls
• Winged carpenter ant swarmers appearing in spring
• Wood that sounds hollow when tapped
• Moisture-damaged areas with visible ant activity
