Do you think a single ant is "no problem" ?
THINK AGAIN !
If you think you only have one or two ants,
look behind the walls !
The Carpentar ant is one of the most common structural pests found in and around the home. They are attracted to wood which has been exposed to moisture.
Carpenter ants tunnel and make nests in soft wood, however, they do not eat the wood.
The largest of the ant family, the carpenter ant can be up to 3/4 inches long, they have a thin waist, bent antennae and are black, reddish-black or brownish black in color.
Any wooden areas which become moist are vulnerable to carpenter ant attack.
They LOVE plumbing leaks!
This is particularly true of rotting sections of wood.
The worker ant finds an entry route by gnawing a clean tunnel parallel to the wood grain wherever a crack or crevice exists.
The wood is chewed and discarded outside the tunnel.
The discarded shavings, which resemble sawdust, provide an indication of nesting areas.
