Pests We Treat - Finding the source of Carpenter Ants

During my inspection, I observed a beam that went across the ceiling in the bedroom. I had a strong suspicion that the ants were coming into the bedroom from the attic above. Sure enough, when inspecting the attic, I saw numerous dead ants. I started the ant treatment in the attic. Attic insulation is a favorite nesting spot for ants, and I pulled back the insulation and applied liquid and aerosol applications underneath. I also thoroughly treated the roofing trusses. Next, I moved to the bedroom. Using a ladder to reach the ceiling, I treated the ceiling void around the beam. Finally, I finished treatment outside of the home by treating the soffits up by the roofing beam. Vented soffits are a common entry point for insects to gain access into the attic. For ant infestations, we always set up a two-week follow-up to reinspect and apply additional treatments as necessary. Ant infestations do not resolve immediately. It can take a good two weeks for the treatment to take full effect and for the colony to be destroyed.
