Carpenter Ant Exterminators
As a larger species, carpenter ants range in size from just a quarter inch to an entire inch in length. Unlike termites, they do not actually feed on wood. However, they can cause nearly as much trouble if left to their own devices. Over time, carpenter ants can inflict serious damage to walls, door frames and moldings all over your house. Let our professional carpenter ant exterminators help identify the infestation.

Do You Need Carpenter Ants Removal Services?
The most common variety, the black carpenter ant is found in homes in North America. You'll most likely see them after sunset, and their activity increases greatly in the spring and summer months. Carpenter ants can be found in any wooden structures that have been moistened or softened by water damage, including near the plumbing pipes in walls and within electrical conduits. When inspecting for carpenter ants, it is particularly important to look at the the following parts of your home:
- Roof
- Porch
- Deck
- Window and door frames
- Bathroom walls (especially around the tub)
- Kitchen
Essentially, any spot in your home where moisture meets wood is a potential home for these summer bugs. Eliminate 'Em Pest Control Services offers same-day services and free estimates for carpenter ant pest control.
