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 Gainesville, 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 Gainesville, 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 Gainesville, AL home will be safe. We are the #1 Gainesville, AL carpenter ant control company.
They tought me a thing or two thanks!
My home was covered in mouse droppings. They came out very promptly and took the mice out. So far everything is working great, I have not seen any mouse droppings in some time now.
Wonderful work. They're always accommodating and a great help. Will be suggesting them to others!
World-class work by our technicians! They were detailed, addressed our concerns, and walked us through the treatment. We will definitely be recommending them to friends and family!
They are very punctual and organized when it comes to their appointment. My tech made sure that I am aware of the treatment plan. I am also glad that I won't have to leave the house while they do their business. Their treatment does not have irritating smell so that is a plus!
I just switched from another company. I had a mice problem in the mice in the attic and I couldn't wait for another week so I called Presto-X. Gratefully, they came right out and took care of the mice. My tech did an intensive job, and even discovered a wasp nest. I surely made the right decision to go with them
The pest guys came today! My technician provided very substantial information about my pest issues. Thank you for resolving my problem with hornets!
