Carpenter ants, especially the eastern black carpenter ant (Camponotus pennsylvanicus), are common throughout North and South Carolina. They tunnel through damp, softened wood to build nests that can cause serious structural damage if left untreated.
At Gregory Pest Solutions, our carpenter ant exterminators are experts at locating hidden colonies and creating treatment plans that help protect your home or business. Don't wait until the damage becomes extensive, contact us today for a free ant inspection.
Since 1972, Gregory Pest Solutions has provided the professional carpenter ant extermination Carolinas homeowners rely on to protect their properties. Carpenter ants thrive in the warm, humid climate of the Carolinas, making homes throughout North and South Carolina particularly vulnerable to infestations. Unlike termites, which consume wood, carpenter ants excavate it to create smooth tunnels and galleries where they establish their nests. This tunneling weakens wooden beams, floor joists, window frames, and other structural components of your home.
Effective carpenter ant treatment requires reaching the heart of the colony, hidden deep within wall voids. Rather than using surface sprays that only impact foragers, we focus on the source to neutralize the population from the inside out. For long-term carpenter ant control, we leverage our experience with moisture correction to identify leaking pipes or roof failures that act as "magnets" for wood-destroying pests. By addressing the damp environments they prefer, we remove their motivation to stay and help keep your property protected for years to come.

Winged carpenter ants, called swarmers or alates, are reproductive ants that emerge from mature colonies to mate and establish new colonies. Seeing them indoors, especially in spring, is a strong indicator that a carpenter ant colony is either inside your home or very close to it.
In most cases, no. Gregory Pest Solutions uses targeted treatment methods and EPA-registered products that are safe for families and pets when applied correctly. Our technicians will provide specific guidance based on the treatment methods used in your home.
While termites are generally considered more destructive because they consume wood and can cause damage more quickly, carpenter ants can still cause significant structural damage over time.
Spraying visible ants might provide a temporary fix, but it won't solve the underlying problem. Store-bought sprays only kill the ants you see, which are typically just worker ants foraging for food. The real problem is the colony, which can contain thousands of ants, including the queen. Without eliminating the entire colony, the infestation will persist and potentially worsen.
