Carpenter Ant Information

Carpenter Ant facts

Unlike termites, carpenter ants don’t actually eat the wood. They only carve out nests for the colony and forage for food close by. They burrow deep into the wood, excavating it and leaving the debris outside of any one of the pinhole exits that are made. Carpenter ant workers usually only travel up to about 300 feet from a carpenter ants’ nest which is why finding a home with a steady supply of food is so great for their survival. These pests can find the smallest entry points in foundation and wall cracks to gain access to your home. Once they find their way in, they will infest your family’s home before creating multiple satellite colonies and causing significant structural damage. Satellite colonies make it even more difficult to fully exterminate carpenter ants because if you take down the parent colony, the satellite still exists.

Each carpenter ant colony has its own social structure with each ant playing a specific role. These castes are generally broken down into workers, reproductives, and the queen. Workers are generally the ant class that you will find foraging for food inside your home and these annoying pests will leave chemical pheromone trails that other carpenter ants from their colony can follow once a food source is found. This is why you will often see lines of ants following the same trail when they become noticeable inside your home or business. 

Reproductives, or swarmers, are the winged carpenter ants that are less invasive but will often leave in search of new locations to start another colony. While this carpenter ant class is less likely to be found in or around your home, if you notice swarmers outside there is a good chance that they are trying to establish a colony close by. This is usually the first indicator that carpenter ants may be trying to infiltrate your property. Regardless of which type of carpenter ants are detected, EcoGuard’s professional carpenter ant treatment services will help eradicate any colony that becomes a problem.

Local Spot Treatment – Carpenter ants that have foraged inside will be killed instantaneously with low toxicity chemical pesticide applications. This will help eliminate pheromone trails that lead carpenter ants to the food source they were contaminating.

Exterior Perimeter Treatment – This exterior application is designed to prevent carpenter ants from making their way inside a home or business by laying down a protective barrier. Once applied, carpenter ants can’t cross this line of defense and will not be able to gain entry via small cracks and openings.

Carpenter Ant Dusting – If exit holes are identified, dust can be injected into the wall void to reach the carpenter ants in their home. This dust is usually a compound that dedicates the ants which causes them to die from dehydration. 

Ant Bait Poisons – Poison bait systems are great for outdoor carpenter ant colonies. The poison is picked up by worker ants and returned to the colony which then causes the colony to collapse from the inside out as the rest of the colony will succumb to the poison. 

All Natural / Organic Carpenter ant Treatment – EcoGuard offers an all-natural carpenter ant treatment option designed to be ecofriendly and safe for the environment as well as your children and pets.
