Pests We Treat Photo Album: Columns Loaded with Carpenter Ants in Oceanport, NJ
Following the Carpenter Ants
As we followed their trail, we discovered that the carpenter ants were harboring underneath one of the columns.
Carpenter Ants Cause Damage
Carpenter ants are wood-destroying insects and received their name because they excavate wood in order to build their nests. Carpenter ants build their nest inside a home, seeking out water-damaged, decaying wood that they can easily excavate. In doing so, they can seriously damage the structure of the home.
First the Granular Bait
For treatment, we put down some granular bait near the columns, which immediately attracted the carpenter ants.
Now for the Liquid Residual
We're also going to treat this area and the entire exterior of the home with a liquid non-repellant application.
Sharing the Treatment
Once the carpenter ants come in contact with either of these products, they'll return to their colony & unknowingly share these treatments throughout their nest. A short while later, they are exterminated.
