Carpenter Ants questions from Northwest Massachusetts/Burlington residents
Carpenter ants are large (1/4 to 1/2 inch), black, and often seen at night. Look for sawdust piles (frass) that may contain ant body parts. Winged ants emerging indoors in spring confirm nesting.
Carpenter ants hollow out wood for nesting but don't eat it like termites. Damage accumulates slowly over years. Moisture-damaged wood is preferred. Early detection prevents significant structural damage.
Carpenter ants nest in moist, damaged wood. Roof leaks, poor drainage, and wood-to-soil contact create attractive conditions. Our inspection identifies moisture sources and nesting sites.
Baiting eliminates colonies over 2-4 weeks as workers share bait with the queen. We also apply direct treatments to nesting areas. Moisture correction provides lasting prevention.
