Signs you need this
- A steady trail of ants along a counter, baseboard, or window frame
- Small piles of sawdust-like shavings near trim — a carpenter ant sign
- Winged ants indoors, which can mean a colony is inside the structure
- Ants reappearing within days of cleaning up the trail
What the visit involves
- Follow trails to find the nest or the entry point into the structure
- Identify the species — carpenter ants are treated very differently from pavement ants
- Apply materials the workers carry back to the colony
- Treat the exterior perimeter so foraging ants stop coming inside
Common questions
Why does spraying the trail make it worse?
Repellent spray can cause some species to split the colony and scatter into new satellite nests. That turns one problem into several.
Are carpenter ants as damaging as termites?
They do damage more slowly. Carpenter ants excavate wood to nest rather than eat it, and they favor wood that is already damp — so they often point to a moisture problem too.
Are fire ants a problem in your area?
It depends on the region. Where they are established, mounds need treating as colonies rather than mound by mound, because disturbed colonies simply relocate in the yard.
