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 Bessemer, 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 Bessemer, 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 Bessemer, AL home will be safe. We are the #1 Bessemer, AL carpenter ant control company.
They have been so wonderfull to work with.
I had a great experience with Presto-X. The office rep works around my schedule when sending a technician. He's been great. Even gave a $40 credit when a visit had to be rescheduled because of a problem with a company truck. The technician didn't rush through his inspection, was thorough, and addressed my concerns. He took down a number of wasps nests, treated the beetles found in the garage and ticks in the yard, put out bait for ants and traps for mice. He was very nice and said that I could contact them if there were any other problems. Looking forward to using them in the future.
I used to have a bad spider problem but not anymore, after signing up with Presto-X. I now live pest-free!
I was so upset to find out that we were renting a rat-infested house. Presto-X sent a rep immediately and took care of our rat problem in a highly thorough manner. He even tried to calm me down and took his time explaining everything to me. The rep was a savior! I would recommend Presto-X to anyone.
The service rep worked meticulously and did not rush. Overall well pleased with Presto-X and their reps.
Presto-X's rep is like a distant relative whom we haven't seen for so long. He was simply so kind and pleasant. Presto-X delivers on their word.
Thank you, Presto-X and your reps, for such superb customer service.
The rep did a phenomenal job and went above and beyond what was expected to get rid of the wasps in my home. Much appreciated.
