Common Misconceptions
“Carpenter ants die off in winter — indoor colonies remain active year-round.”
“If I see ants during the day, the nest is outside — most nests are active at night.”
“They don’t return once removed — untreated structural gaps can lead to repeat problems.”
Real Case Studies
A South Hills customer had ants in both the basement and upstairs. We treated the interior and exterior foundation zones.

Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the infestation size — most are resolved within 1–2 visits.
Yes — we offer warranties and follow-up inspections for carpenter ant services.
Carpenter ants tunnel but don’t eat wood. Termites consume wood and cause more rapid damage.
Sealing helps, but existing nests may remain unless treated.
Spring and early summer are ideal to stop colony growth before it spreads.
Prevent future infestations with our targeted ant and wood pest programs.
Pro Tips
Don’t rely on bait alone — carpenter ant queens must be targeted for true colony elimination.
Inspect crawlspaces, garages, and sheds for signs of tunneling or frass.
Replace water-damaged trim or siding — it’s a common nesting site.
Use dehumidifiers in basement or laundry areas to reduce moisture that attracts ants.
