If you’ve been noticing signs of a carpenter ant infestation — things like hearing rustling in your walls, seeing winged ants crawl out of various cracks and crevices in your home, finding these winged ants’ wings around your house, or finding long trails of ants along your floors — then you might be wondering what there is for you to do about it.
If you have the time to hunt around your property, you might be able to locate the nest. You can identify it by leftover sawdust from where the ants have built their tunnels. Once you have found it, you can simply remove the nest. If this proves difficult, you might have to pull out a vacuum cleaner to get them all. If you do this, you’ll want to securely seal the bag and get rid of it in a way that prevents the ants from escaping and coming right back onto your property.
Often, though, ants will have satellite colonies, or you may not catch the entirety of the first colony. With so much work involved in hunting down, removing, and disposing of a carpenter ant infestation in the first place, having to do it a second time can be disheartening and exhausting. If you find yourself in this situation, or simply want to avoid getting into it in the first place, your best bet is to call us for professional carpenter ant infestation removal services. We will take care of the current nest and apply treatments that will keep your property ant-free for the future.
