What Makes Carpenter Ants Dangerous?
Carpenter ants don't eat wood—they carve through it, leaving hidden damage that compounds over time. At Pestisect.ca, we eliminate the problem at its source and secure your home against future invasions.
Stealthy Wood Damage
Hidden Structural Destruction
These ants hollow out galleries in wood—especially soft, damp areas—undermining structural elements without obvious signs. They create smooth tunnels and chambers that weaken support beams, floor joists, and window frames over time.
⚠️ Damage Risk: Structural integrity compromised
Large Colonies
Exponential Infestation Growth
A mature nest can include tens of thousands of workers plus hidden satellite nests inside your property. Each satellite colony can house 2,000+ ants that continue excavating wood throughout your home.
⚠️ Colony Size: Up to 50,000+ ants per property
Moisture-Seeking
Targeting Vulnerable Areas
They nest around plumbing leaks, window frames, decks, and damp wood—making moisture control a must. These areas become entry points for extensive tunnel networks throughout your home's structure.
⚠️ Target Areas: All moisture-damaged wood
How to Spot an Infestation Early
Sawdust (Frass)
Fine debris near wood & wall openings
Smooth Galleries
Sandpaper-textured tunnels inside wood
Rustling Sounds
From wall voids, especially at night
Large Ants
Black/red ants or flying swarmers May-August
Early detection is crucial. The longer carpenter ants remain undetected, the more extensive and expensive the structural damage becomes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell if I have carpenter ants vs regular ants?
Carpenter ants are significantly larger (6-13mm) and are usually black or dark red. They create smooth, clean galleries in wood and leave behind sawdust-like debris called frass. Regular ants are smaller and don't excavate wood.
Do carpenter ants eat wood like termites?
No, carpenter ants don't eat wood. They excavate galleries and tunnels in wood to create nesting sites. This makes them different from termites but equally damaging to your home's structure over time.
How long does carpenter ant treatment take?
Most carpenter ant treatments show results within 2-7 days. Complete colony elimination typically takes 2-4 weeks as the treatment reaches all satellite nests. We provide follow-up inspections to ensure complete elimination.
