Detection of carpenter ants in The Woodlands can be difficult, but these signs indicate their presence:
Because carpenter ants prefer rotting wood, look for these signs of black carpenter ants in your home in areas where there is moist, rotting wood.
Unlike drywood or subterranean termites that eat wood, carpenter ants in your house do not consume wood; instead, they bore smooth tunnels through the wood to create nests. The sawdust-like shavings outside the openings are from the excavation for their clean, well-sanded tunnels.
The amount of damage from carpenter ants depends on the size of the colony of ants; the more ants in the nest, the more damage. The growth of a carpenter ant colony takes many years, but a mature nest may have up to 10,000 carpenter ants. Evidence of harm to structures often takes years to manifest itself.
A colony of carpenter ants in your home is likely a satellite nest of a carpenter ant nest on your Woodlands property. The following attracts carpenter ants to your property:
Carpenter ant treatment involves taking steps to address these problems on your property.
If you see carpenter ant swarmers on your Woodlands property and other signs of infestation, remove rotting tree stumps and logs within 100 yards of your home. Store firewood away from the house and elevate it to allow airflow to prevent moisture buildup. Inspect the firewood for carpenter ants before bringing it into the home. Replace rotting fence posts and any decaying wood on the property with pressure-treated wood where it comes into contact with the soil. Add metal flashing around any wood structure on the property where it comes into contact with the ground and paint exterior wood structures.
