Carpenter ants chew galleries in structural framing to establish nests, threatening your home's framing. Finding these nests early prevents severe structural damage. Check our detailed carpenter ant control services to learn about structural proofing options.
Signs of Nest Locations
Unlike termites, carpenter ants do not eat wood; they excavate it to build nests. Look for fine wood shavings (frass) under baseboards, and listen for rustling sounds inside walls at night when ants are active. Carpenter ants are drawn to moisture, so check wood framing near leaking roof shingles, gutters, or plumbing lines. Review our general services overview page for structural barrier checks.
Applying Precision Baiting Systems
Rather than spraying trails, which only scatters the colony, we use targeted gel baits that workers carry back to feed the queen. Walk through our team history on our about us page.
