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 Decatur, 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 Decatur, 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 Decatur, AL home will be safe. We are the #1 Decatur, AL carpenter ant control company.
Nothing but professionalism and excellence from the technician.
We signed up with Presto-X because we get visits from a number of pests every year: mice, wasps, carpenter bees, stink bugs, etc. The technician was prompt and did a very thorough treatment for us. He took his time and helped me to understand exactly what he was doing. We're excited to see the effect the treatment has on pest activity over the next months. Update: We had our fall service and we're very happy with the outcome. The technician was thorough as usual, and resolved the yellow jacket issue. The number of stink bugs has decreased as well.
I was a little panicky when I called in the morning because my two-year-old was stung by yellow jackets. The office rep was personable and went over the program options with me. He set up an appointment for later that afternoon. The tech that he sent was very prompt, thorough, and really helped to calm the nerves of an agitated mother! Effective treatment and fantastic customer service as well! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
I've been a very happy customer over the past several months. The technicians are always efficient and competent. If you are having pest issues, you need to call Presto-X!
