Watch Out Carpenter Ants Are Swarming Ants!

Ant season is back in full swing, and they’re bound to be all over your home and lawn. Ants are one problem, but carpenter ants are a very different issue. They can do thousands of dollars in property damage, and if you’re not crazy about the idea of your property being infested by thousands of little pests, here are some tips that can help you eliminate the swarms you might see this spring.

Identifying a Carpenter Ant

Carpenter ants are one of the larger species of ants. They can grow up to half an inch long, and their segmented bodies have three distinct sections. They’re usually dark red or black in color, and queen carpenter ants have wings. They like to make their homes in moist or decayed wood, and you can often find them behind bathroom tiles, in your insulation, or even under your roofing. The easiest way to tell if you have a carpenter ant nest in your home is if you start to notice small divots or notches in the wood of your home or furniture. Carpenter ants eat and build their nests out of small wood shavings, and any areas they have eaten will have a smooth, well-sanded appearance.

Dealing with Carpenter Ants

If you’re looking into DIY carpenter ant control & removal, you have a tough problem on your hands. Off-the-shelf products aren’t going to cut it here. What you can do, though, is prevent the problem before it begins.  Start by sealing up any cracks around your windows, doors, siding, or roofing, as it’s one of the easiest ways for carpenter ants to find their way inside. Make sure that all of the leaky pipes in your home are sealed up, and any trees or bushes outside your home are kept trimmed and away from the walls.
