CARPENTER ANTS PEST CONTROL AND CARPENTER ANT REMOVAL IN BLOOMINGTON AND COLUMBUS, IN

The Culprits: Pest Control Carpenter Ants

Carpenter ants are one of the most common household pests in Southern Indiana, and they are the largest pest ants in the United States. Carpenter ant workers and swarmers (ants with wings) are the most likely sign a homeowner would observe when dealing with a carpenter ant infestation.

The Damage

While carpenter ants are not dangerous to humans, they can threaten the structures they’re infesting. They do not eat wood but prefer making nests in wood structures, particularly those exposed to severe moisture. If not treated early, they could cause extreme damage to houses and buildings.

Free Inspection

Carpenter ants build two types of colonies: parent colonies and satellite colonies, making extermination a challenge for a carpenter ant pest control novice. Carpenter ants can travel up to 300 yards from their existing colony to start a new satellite colony. Trees surrounding the property are the most likely source of the parent colony. Still, satellite colonies are often found in moisture-rich wood areas, such as areas affected by cracks in the foundation, ineffective downspouts and gutters, and plumbing and roofing leaks. 



YES Pest Pros will fully inspect the area indoors and outdoors to find any nesting areas, both parent and satellite colonies. Then, after a thorough and meticulous inspection of the structure, we recommend a treatment plan tailored to your situation and needs and provide you with the best carpenter ant pest control cost.

The Solutions

Once the source is located, YES Pest Pros will utilize treatments to control the colony and offer the best pest control for carpenter ants. Treatments used may include granular, liquid, and gel baits, depending on the situation, time of year, and size of the infestation.
