It is discouraging to find ants crawling around a freshly cleaned kitchen. And even more discouraging, when those little buttons placed around your kitchen and bathrooms don't seem to get rid of the ants.

Carpenter Ants are the most destructive wood-infesting ant in North America. Although these pesky ants do not consume wood, they tunnel through wood to make numerous galleries for nesting purposes. This tunneling can cause concern for the homeowner especially when part of the colony is located in structural supports or costly areas such as window or door casings.

Although you may notice ants in one area of your home, the ant colony could be located elsewhere. Did you know a mature Carpenter Ant colony can have about 5,000 ants living in the nest with satellite colonies in different parts of the structure? That is why spot treatments are ineffective.

Our service procedure of active colony searching includes your entire home - both interior and exterior. Interior service includes inspection and treatment of areas frequented by carpenter ants and selected areas prone to colony establishment. All living areas of the home - basement, accessible crawlspaces and attics, enclosed porches, and attached garages are included in our service. Exterior service also includes inspection and treatment to exterior walls, foundation and perimeter. We give particular attention to window and door casings, decks, porches and eaves which are prone to carpenter ant activity. Pesticide treatments are carefully made into cracks, crevices, and wall voids within areas of your home. Drilling is not usually necessary, but may be suggested depending on the infestation circumstances. This non-routine method is a decision made by the home-owner after an inspection and analysis by our professional service technicians. An application is also made to the exterior perimeter of your home. Service time will vary due to the size of your home and the type of the structure, but generally takes about a half day to complete.
