Carpenters are good. Carpenter ants are not; they are very industrious and destructive pests that are hard to remove if you are unlucky enough to find them in your home.
How do you know if you have these ants in your house? What to do they look like? Moreover, most importantly, how do you get rid of them?
Let’s start with the first question. There are signs to be alert for if you think you are facing a problem with carpenter ants in Dallas, OR. The main thing to be on the lookout for is piles of wood shavings, like sawdust, in areas such as door jambs and windowsills. You may also hear noises from inside your walls; this faint rustling could indicate an ant problem as well. Wood may also sound hollow when tapped. Keep on the lookout for winged ants, or left behind wings too.
So, you’ve got an idea of what to look for, but what do they look like? They are mid-sized as far as ants go with lengths between one-quarter to one-half of an inch. They are generally black or red, or a combination of the two.
Once you’ve determined that, yes, you’ve got an ant problem, your path to getting rid of them must lead you to a professional pest control team like ours at AAA Pest Exterminators, Inc. We have the experience, tools, and skills you need to rid your home of these unwelcome visitors.
