Common Misconceptions

“Only damp homes get carpenter ants — any home with unsealed entry points is at risk.”

“I can treat just one area — satellite colonies can exist in multiple locations.”

“Ants only come inside for food — they nest inside for shelter, moisture, and warmth.”

Real Case Studies

In Oakland, carpenter ants were entering near an AC unit hose. We caulked the pipe entry and sprayed the foundation.

A property near Polish Hill had ants inside porch columns. We treated the hollow core with residual dust.

Trust Spectrum to eliminate ants and protect your home.

Lawrenceville row homes frequently have deck or siding-related carpenter ant problems in spring and summer.
