Carpenter ants are more than a nuisance — they’re one of the most destructive pests homeowners and businesses face. Unlike termites, carpenter ants don’t eat wood, but they hollow it out to build nests, which can compromise the structural integrity of your property over time. Cedar Valley Pest Control is here to help you identify, eliminate, and prevent carpenter ant infestations before they cause costly damage.
Signs of a Carpenter Ant Infestation
Common warning signs include piles of wood shavings (frass) beneath baseboards or wooden beams, faint rustling sounds inside walls, or large black ants traveling in and out of your home or business. Unlike smaller pavement ants, carpenter ants are bigger and often spotted at night as they forage for food.
Why DIY Doesn’t Work
Carpenter ant colonies can have multiple satellite nests spread throughout a property. Killing the ants you see won’t solve the problem, as queens and hidden nests remain untouched, allowing infestations to continue and worsen over time.
Professional Carpenter Ant Control
Our team starts with a detailed inspection to locate nests inside and outside your structure. We then apply targeted treatments that reach deep into colonies, ensuring comprehensive elimination. Our extermination methods are designed to minimize disruption while delivering maximum effectiveness.
Preventing Future Infestations
After treatment, our experts help you seal cracks and gaps around foundations, doors, and windows. We’ll also recommend removing dead or water-damaged wood near your property, as it attracts carpenter ants looking for nesting sites.
