CARPENTER ANT & ANT CONTROL
Carpenter Ants are in fact a very important part of the ecosystem, helping to breakdown rotten and decaying wood in the natural environment – making Carpenter Ants one of the most common wood destroying insects in the northeast. However, they can cause serious property damage if left unchecked in your home or business.
There are several types of ants that frequently invade your home or business. While some ants are more annoying than harmful, others may cause damage.
At Pest Assassins Exterminating, our team of professionals focuses on eliminating your ant problem with our Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach.
​
IPM approach:
​
-
We reduce the reliance on traditional pest management chemicals whenever possible
-
Tactics may include exclusion, sanitation, pesticides, and many other scientifically-sound approaches
​
Common Black or Brown Ants
​
Sugar ants are the little black or brown ants you see on sidewalks and pavements outside. Sometimes called pavement ants, they are about 1/10 to 1/8 inch long and prefer to feed on sugary foods–hence the name sugar ant. Other common ants on Long Island are Acrobat Ants, Argentine Ants, Field Ants, Odorous House Ants, Citronella Ants, or Pharaoh Ants. Many types of ants enter your home or business foraging for food. Once inside, they tend to become a huge nuisance by creating nests inside walls and other areas. They can also contaminate food sources, some even causing damage to the structure of your home or business.
​
Big Ants Are a Bigger Problem
While some ants are more annoying than harmful, other ants may cause major damage. If you find a big ant in or around your home or business, you may have an ant known as the carpenter ant. While small common brown/black ants are an annoyance, they rarely cause major structural damage. Carpenter ants can have several large nests and several thousands of workers. You can get temporary relief from these pests with store bought pesticides, but the problem is likely to return without professional help. This is where the professionals at Pest Assassins Exterminating step in and help eliminate a carpenter ant infestation. Our technicians can provide the safe and effective solutions needed to completely eradicate carpenter ants from your home or business.
