Carpenter ants get their name because they excavate wood in order to build their nests. They play an important and beneficial role in breaking down rotting wood debris in our forests. It is only when they invade your home that carpenter ants become a serious problem.
Carpenter ants are random foragers who migrate from primary nests established outdoors. They can invade your home through just about any small crack or opening to look for food and establish new nesting locations.
Removing carpenter ants typically involves using a delayed action bait and allowing the ants to transfer it back to their colony. There it can affect a greater number to eventually eliminate the colony all together.
Keeping carpenter ants from re infesting your home may include structural modifications, alterations to the surrounding environment, sanitation changes, and the use of state-of-the-art materials to deter further nesting.
