How Do Pest Control Experts Kill Carpenter Ants?

Can carpenter ants be removed without damaging property, and how does professional ant extermination work?

We’ll start with the good news. If you suspect you’ve got carpenter ants in your home, you’ll be pleased to learn that professional exterminators don't immediately go hacking into your walls to locate the colony. While finding nesting sites is the ideal goal, carpenter ants frequently travel long distances from multiple satellite nests, making direct discovery very challenging.

Instead of blindly spraying, professional carpenter ants treatment relies on highly effective, slow-acting insecticides. When a worker ant walks across the treated area, it doesn't die right away. Instead, it unknowingly carries the poison back to the colony, gradually wiping out the entire population from the inside out.

Another professional technique is distributing granular bait around the foundation of a premises, in garden beds, and even up in the crotches of trees. The ants grab these irresistible baits and take them straight to the colony and queen.

It's a highly targeted approach, where the ants do the hard work and basically exterminate themselves. For these persistent ants, a DIY approach won’t do the job. If you have an infestation, call in the experts – they know what kills carpenter ants once and for all.
