Carpenter ants are one of the most common culprits when it comes to property damage in our area, rival only to termites in terms of the sheer prolific trouble they represent. They can often go undetected for extended periods of time, all the while eating through the internal structure of your home. If you're to successfully fight back against these unruly insects, it's important to be well informed. That's why we've arranged this quick and easy guide to carpenter ant control, where we'll outline everything you need to know. Today, we're going to discuss how to identify and prevent a carpenter ant problem in your Katy home.
The ants themselves are easy enough to recognize. Carpenter ants are large, growing to be about half an inch long, with black carapaces and prominent mandibles. They'll usually congregate around sources of food and nesting material, which generally means wood. Check any fallen branches, dead trees, and stumps, rotten fence posts, or piles of firewood.
When they make their way inside, it's usually due to an excess of moisture they can exploit for easier food and nesting. In your home, check any damp crawl spaces, around window and door frames, and look for any sagging or disconcerting sounds in your walls. Here are a few of the more obvious signs of their presence:
Carpenter ants may not inflict a venomous bite, but in large enough numbers, they can cause significant damage to the structural integrity of your home, tantamount to the damage caused by termites. Although carpenter ants don't feed on the cellulose of wood like termites do, they still tunnel through internal structures to make their colony's nests, which results in untold property damage. Left to their own devices, a carpenter ant colony will cost you a lot of time, money, and mental fortitude in treatment and repairs. That's why it's best to prevent them or catch them early if you can't.
