We specialize in locating and removing carpenter ant nests hidden in attics, sheds, and wall voids.

“We don’t just kill ants — we find the nest, flush the colony, and help you stop them from coming back.”

"Carpenter ants were nesting behind our bathroom tiles — Spectrum found it fast and fixed the issue."

"Very knowledgeable crew. They gave tips to help us keep the ants from coming back."

Common Misconceptions

“You’ll always see carpenter ants — many stay hidden in walls, ceilings, or insulation.”

“Over-the-counter sprays work fine — they often repel ants and drive them deeper indoors.”

“Ants won’t cross clean floors — they follow chemical trails and don’t need crumbs to invade.”

Real Case Studies

In Highland Park, a customer had ants reappearing every spring. We created a seasonal plan and treated both house and tree bases.

A garage in Swissvale had hollow sounds in framing. Carpenter ants were excavating a beam — we treated and sealed it.

Don’t wait — call Spectrum for safe, thorough extermination.

Properties around CMU often see ant activity near basements, eaves, and storage sheds.

Pro Tips

Avoid storing mulch or wood chips too close to your home’s foundation.

Keep shrubs and ivy trimmed low — ants use them as highways into the house.

Monitor areas with past water damage — they’re top nesting zones.
