Appearance- Carpenter ants are usually large and black colored, with bent antennae, a narrow waist, and longer front wings. Carpenter ants are often confused for termites which have straight antennae, a thick waist and four wings all the same size.
Behavior - Swarmer carpenter ants have the ability to fly, and often are sent out from an existing parent nest to create a new satellite colony. When they find a location to nest, you may start to see holes in the wood of your Akron, AL home, such as in the walls or on your porch. Termites will leave mud in the excavated areas, so it does not look smooth. Unlike termites, carpenter ants do not eat wood and will leave wood bits and dust behind as a sign of their current residence in your walls.
Carpenter ants seek out damp and rotting wood to live within. They like to live in tree stumps or fallen, rotting logs where moisture is present. Parts of your home that are exposed to the elements are most susceptible to carpenter ant damage.
Carpenter ants tend to be a nuisance, and an untreated colony can pose a threat to the stability of your Akron, AL residence. Too much burrowing into the wood could compromise the integrity of some housing structures. Satellite colonies may pop up if a nest is left untreated for an extended period.
Getting rid of carpenter ants ensures that your home will stay safe from their burrows. Professional carpenter ant control is the most effective way to kill carpenter ants and stop their colonization in its tracks.
Call us today to treat or prevent your carpenter ant problem so you and your family can rest assured the foundation of your Akron, AL home will be safe. We are the #1 Akron, AL carpenter ant control company.

The representative took care of the wasps, hornets and carpenter bees around our property. There were so many nests and he treated them all. We really appreciate the amazing work!
Since I couldn't be home for the visit, the technician kept me updated of his progress. He told me what treatment he was using to eliminate the ants in the backyard. He also encouraged me to contact him if I ever noticed an increase in activity again. It was superb customer service!
The technicians' pest control services worked really, really well. They call ahead of time and inform us of the service they'll do. Likewise,we adore the company's inclusion of other household pests whenever treatments are done.
