The Problem With Ants

At first, a few ants here and there might not seem like a big deal. But where you see a handful, there are often hundreds more hiding in walls, under floors, or near food and water sources. Ants contaminate kitchens, bathrooms, and breakrooms, spreading bacteria and making your home or business feel anything but clean.

The Special Case of Carpenter Ants

Carpenter ants deserve extra attention because they don’t just forage for food; they dig into damp or weakened wood to build their nests. Over time, that tunneling can cause serious structural damage to beams, walls, and floors. Left untreated, carpenter ants can compromise the safety of your property, and repairs often cost far more than professional carpenter ant control.

Signs You Need Professional Ant Pest Control

When ants move beyond the occasional visitor and start making themselves at home, it’s time to take a closer look. Watch for these warning signs that mean it’s time to call in the experts:

Trails of ants marching along floors, counters, or walls
Piles of sawdust-like material (frass) near windowsills or baseboards — a red flag for carpenter ants
Hollow-sounding or weakened wood structures
Large winged ants appearing indoors, especially in spring

Why DIY Solutions Often Fail

Store-bought sprays and traps might kill the ants you see, but they rarely reach the root of the problem: the hidden colony. That’s why infestations return again and again. Without the right tools and techniques, it’s nearly impossible to eliminate the entire nest and keep ants from coming back.

The 411 on Ants

Understanding a few basics about ants can help you protect your home or business more effectively.

Ant Behavior

Ants live in large colonies and are constantly foraging for food and water, which is why they often invade kitchens, breakrooms, and storage areas.

Carpenter Ants vs. Common Ants

Carpenter ants don’t eat wood; they tunnel through it to build nests. This makes them especially destructive compared to other species.

Prevention Tips

Seal cracks around doors and windows, keep food tightly stored, fix leaky pipes, and reduce excess moisture to make your property less attractive to ants.
