Carpenter Ant Extermination

Carpenter ants are one of the largest ants found in our area and are a common problem for homeowners. Unlike termites, carpenter ants do not eat wood. Instead, they excavate galleries inside damp or damaged wood to build their nests. Left untreated, an infestation can continue to expand as the colony grows.

At Knight Pest Control, carpenter ant extermination is one of our most requested services. We perform a thorough inspection, identify where the ants are nesting and traveling, and develop a treatment plan designed to eliminate the infestation and help prevent it from returning.

Why Carpenter Ants Invade Homes Carpenter ants are attracted to areas with excess moisture or wood that has been damaged by water. Common nesting areas include around leaking windows, rooflines, door frames, decks, crawl spaces, and areas near the foundation where moisture problems exist.

Correcting these moisture issues can help reduce the likelihood of future infestations.
