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 Forest Home, 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 Forest Home, 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 Forest Home, AL home will be safe. We are the #1 Forest Home, AL carpenter ant control company.
Our technician does amazing work!
We needed someone to take down a large wasp nest from above the hot tub. We couldn't stay outside because of it. Presto-X sent a tech out the following day and he was able to remove it. Very professional and knew exactly what to do. Amazing service, as always!
Our technician was considerate and efficient. He worked with nothing but professionalism. I haven't seen any ant activity since the first treatment.
I like that the tech was prompt and he gave me a call to let me know he was en route. He was very meticulous and answered all of my questions. Since they've been taking care of my home, I haven't seen any ants inside. When I saw some activity outside, they came out and took care of it. You couldn't ask for better service. I wholeheartedly recommend them.
Presto-X has been my pest control company for a few years already. They did such a wonderful job of maintaining the single-family home I used to live in that I had them out again to eliminate the ants in the condo I moved to. The technician was efficient and personable. I want to request for him when I get the maintenance plan set up again.
The two techs that came by did a fantastic job!. Everything was done efficiently and methodically. I highly recommend Presto-X!
Presto-X's employees are very friendly. They are punctual and very professional.
I am a mom and daycare provider who has lived here for more than 2 years, and I can say that Presto-X's reps thoroughly explain the treatment and answer all questions and concerns completely. I couldn't be happier with Presto-X and wouldn't choose anyone else for my pest control needs.
Presto-X's reps did a phenomenal job. They were knowledgeable and meticulous, and they even gave good advice on how I could save more money throughout my termite treatment.
