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 Cedar Key, FL 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 Cedar Key, FL 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 Cedar Key, FL home will be safe. We are the #1 Cedar Key, FL carpenter ant control company.
I would highly recommend them to anyone in the market for their services.
I've nothing but good things to say about our technician! He went over things with us, shared his expertise and was very nice. Will be recommending him for sure.
We live near the woods and we had a very bad tick problem. We also had seasonal issues with mice and wasps. It got to the point where we were considering leaving the house. After a few weeks of signing up with Active Pest Control, our issues were resolved. And I can call them back out anytime I see new activity starting up again. It's amazing how much of a decrease it has been! Every technician has been well mannered, considerate and professional. One tech in particular is great with my kids and our dog. I highly recommend them!
Active Pest Control came within the time frame of the appointment. The technician explained the service thoroughly and gave fair pricing. I have yet to see the results.
I was lucky to get same-day service from two guys. They did a thorough inspection and they explained the options for treatment. We agreed to sign up and they completed the job the same day.
I appreciate our pest guy! He was awesome, considerate and knows a lot of about pest.
The office rep did a good job in explaining the process to me when I called them up a few days ago. The rep who came out once I set an appointment also kept me informed of how their treatment works. Thanks, Active Pest Control.
We had our first treatment today by Active Pest Control, and the rep we had was quite friendly and knowledgeable.
I've used Active Pest Control for over a year now, and their rep came out to treat our home with the same thoroughness as expected. Now, my home is roach-free again.
