Carpenter ants are one of the most destructive insects in Ontario silently hollowing out the wood in your home. XtermaPro locates the colony and eliminates it completely.
Carpenter ants are the largest ants found in Ontario, ranging from 6–25mm. They're typically black or black and red. Unlike termites, they don't eat wood they excavate it to build galleries for nesting, leaving behind piles of sawdust-like frass. A mature colony can contain thousands of workers.
Carpenter ants are often discovered too late. Watch for:
Carpenter ant damage accumulates slowly but can be extensive. Colonies in structural beams, window frames, and wall voids weaken the wood over years, sometimes requiring costly repairs. A single satellite colony is a sign of a larger parent colony nearby often located in decaying exterior wood.
Surface sprays only kill foraging workers the colony survives. Our treatment locates the nest using inspection and baiting techniques, then applies targeted professional treatments that are carried back and eliminate the entire colony. We also identify and advise on moisture issues that attract carpenter ants.
