Professional Carpenter Ant Extermination Services in Central Ohio

Carpenter ants are a common nuisance in Central Ohio, known for their destructive tendencies toward wooden structures. Unlike termites, they do not eat wood but excavate it to create nests, potentially causing significant structural damage over time. These ants are drawn to moist or decaying wood, making areas like attics, basements, and crawl spaces particularly vulnerable. Their presence often signals underlying moisture issues that need immediate attention.

At Elite Pest and Termite Control, we specialize in professional carpenter ant extermination services designed to protect your property. We offer a comprehensive carpenter ant extermination that is designed for your specific needs.

Signs of Carpenter Ant Infestation in House

Identifying signs of a carpenter ant infestation early is key to preventing significant damage to your home’s structural integrity. These ants excavate wood to create nests which can weaken wooden components over time. Look out for:

  • Sawdust-like piles (frass) near wooden structures.
  • Audible rustling noises from within walls.
  • Sightings of large, black ants indoors, particularly during warmer months.

Prompt action is essential upon noticing these signs to avoid potential structural issues.

We offer Comprehensive Carpenter Ant Treatments to protect your home

When dealing with your carpenter ant issues, Our Elite Team will begin by performing a thorough interior and exterior inspection to identify possible carpenter ant harborage sites and areas vulnerable to moisture. Our state-licensed team will then develop a specialized plan of attack using a combination of liquid barriers and bait to get your carpenter ants under control.

Following the treatment, we provide recommendations for preventative measures to ensure that carpenter ants do not return. Our goal is to deliver lasting peace of mind and a pest-free environment for your home.
