Carpenter ants get their name because they are so good at building their nests. They actually excavate wood to form smooth tunnels where they live, causing potentially serious problems for your home. Carpenter ants can build nests in any area with wood around your home, but they tend to prefer wood that is a bit moist. You may find them in and around your indoor sinks, tubs, windows that are not properly sealed
Once ants find a way into your home or business, they can be extremely difficult to get rid of. They can enter through the smallest of holes or cracks and once they communicate to their colony that they have located a food source, you will soon have hundreds or thousands of ants marching in. Ridding your home, business and/or property of ants most often should be left to a professional. The team at EcoTech specializes in ant inspection
Carpenter ants are the largest ants in the US and they build nests inside of wood. They are actually able to chew galleries into the wood grain to form their nests and provide passageways for movement from section to section of the nest. Over a period of time, carpenter ants can do significant damage to your home.
Household ants are a major hassle. There little bodies can easily squeeze into some of the tiniest space,s and quickly become an enormous ant colony inside of the home. The number of ants can reach up to 500,000 as they run around on countertops, along floors, inside cabinets and wherever else they choose to be.
Many of us do not love insects but chances are good that you realize that many insects do a lot of good things for humans. For example, we know that without bees, our food choices would diminish significantly. Spiders, even when they are in our homes, consume smaller insects that would otherwise make our lives miserable. But what about ants? Do ants perform any function that benefits us? The answer is yes, but no one wants ants performing their acts of good inside our houses or work spaces. Ants are incredibly strong for their size and can find their way into just about any location—usually where you do not want them to go, such as cereal boxes, trash cans, even dishwashers. When this happens, call a professional ant exterminator to deal with them for you.
Carpenter ants are one of the largest species of ants that live in Minnesota. They have wings and are often found inside homes in the spring and they can cause damage when they remove wood as they create galleries and tunnels for nesting. They are attracted to wood that is moist. So, if you see ants with wings in or around your home, you may have a carpenter ant problem.
