BUILT AROUND CARPENTER ANT BIOLOGY
Complete control starts with understanding the colony.
Carpenter ants form satellite colonies. We treat the pathways they use to achieve 100% control on and inside the treated structure.
Exterior treatment
We treat the pathways carpenter ants use around the house, including the perimeter, eaves and visible travel routes.
No need to stay home
The service is performed outside and typically takes about 30 minutes.
Allow 10 to 14 days
The treatment works through the colony over time to eliminate carpenter ants on and inside the treated structure.

START WITH THE RIGHT IDENTIFICATION
Carpenter ant or termite?
Carpenter ants remove wood to make nesting space. Termites eat it. If you’re unsure what you’ve found, text us a clear photo before choosing a treatment.
Ants: bent antennae and a narrow waist. Termites: straight antennae and a broad waist. Select the image to enlarge.
You do not need to be home.
We need safe, clear access around the outside of the structure. After service, keep pets off treated areas and wear shoes there for about 15 minutes or until the spray is dry.
Before service
- Put outside pets up
- Turn sprinklers off
- Clear clutter along the house
- Pause outside work in the treatment area
