CARPENTER ANT CONTROL SERVICES FOR LAREDO, TX & BEYOND

Carpenter ants are a species of ants that get their name from the way they build their nests. They build nests by chewing through wood and forming smooth tunnels. They do not eat the wood as termites do. Instead, they will discard the chewed wood in a sawdust-like material. Carpenter ants can vary in size and color, but they are usually ¼- ½ inches long and blackish.


They are common in heavily forested areas. The ants like to burrow into wooden structures, which can cause structural concerns. If you notice sawdust and holes in wooden parts of your property, it is likely carpenter ants. You must get them removed quickly to prevent structural damage.

Methods of Carpenter Ant Removal

  • Bait: Bait will always be used to pinpoint the location of the ant nest. It can be hard to find a nest because of how much area any given property covers. So, we start by placing a sugary bait and then wait for the ants to come to take some. We then monitor where they go to find their nest.

 

  • Chemical Solutions: There is a combination of chemicals that may be used to kill the ants. You can choose from Phantom Termiticide, Premise Foam, Temprid, and Timbor. These typically get rid of the ants.

 

  • Non-Chemical Solutions: Some property owners want to use non-chemical solutions for various reasons such as the presence of children or pets. That is okay, as there are several to choose from. Solutions include baking soda mixed with powdered sugar, boric acid, and hot water.
