Small, but mighty - the army that never sleeps!
Carpenter ants (genus Camponotus) are among the largest ants, ranging from 6 to 12 mm in length. They are usually black or dark brown, with some species having a reddish hue. They have a characteristic heart-shaped head and a rounded thoracic profile without spines.
These ants prefer to nest in wood, especially damp or partially decayed wood. They do not eat wood but excavate it to create nesting galleries. They are primarily active at night and feed on insects, sweet liquids, and plant sap. Their colonies can reach up to 50,000 individuals.
Carpenter ants can cause significant structural damage to wooden structures, especially if the wood is already damaged by moisture or rot. They can weaken beams, boards, and other wooden elements in buildings. Additionally, large colonies can create noise that can be heard in the walls.
Remove sources of moisture and repair leaks. Trim tree branches that touch the building. Store firewood away from the house. Seal cracks and openings in the building's exterior. Regularly check for signs of activity, such as piles of wood shavings.
How we treat it
Our approach includes a thorough inspection to locate nests and determine the extent of the infestation. We use a combination of baits, contact insecticides, and powder formulations to treat active areas. If necessary, we can also apply foam into wall voids. We also offer services for repairing and replacing damaged wood, as well as recommendations for preventing future infestations.
We set the exact price after a free on-site inspection.
