Identifying their nesting sites is crucial, as carpenter ants may establish colonies both indoors and outdoors, often preferring moist or decaying wood.Carpenter ants are among the most common structural pests, frequently causing extensive damage to buildings. Unlike termites, carpenter ants do not eat wood. Instead, they excavate tunnels and create galleries to establish their nests, compromising the integrity of wooden structures over time. Effective carpenter ant control begins with proper identification and assessment of the infestation’s extent.

Once detected, initial control steps involve eliminating excess moisture and repairing damaged wood to deter future infestations. Various bait and residual pesticide treatments are directly applied to nests or strategically placed along ant trails. This method captures foraging ants and ultimately targets the entire colony.

Selecting targeted treatments is essential to ensure the safety of non-target organisms and human residents. Our team provides a comprehensive inspection to determine the nature and severity of the infestation, ensuring customized treatment plans. Our home protection plans emphasize continuous monitoring and preventive measures to effectively keep carpenter ants at bay, fostering an environment that deters their return. Not sure what type of ant you are dealing with? Give Drake Pest Management a call today to schedule a consultation and take the first step towards long-term carpenter ant control.

Expertise in Carpenter Ant Removal

Specialized knowledge is key to successful carpenter ant removal. Understanding their nesting habits, colony structure, and seasonal behaviors allows us to devise more efficient control strategies. Carpenter ants can have multiple satellite colonies connected to a main nest, making thorough inspection crucial to locate all colonies. Our licensed exterminators are trained to identify these hidden colonies using advanced detection tools and techniques. Our team’s experience in managing diverse infested environments, from residential homes to commercial buildings, enables us to address various scenarios with precision and expertise.

Professional carpenter ant removal services combine identification skills with expert application of pest control products. Our aim is to tackle the underlying cause of the infestation, rather than providing the temporary relief typical of most DIY products. Our process includes sealing entry points, removing potential food sources, and advising on long-term solutions such as structural repairs and moisture reduction strategies.

We emphasize the importance of our integrated pest management programs to guarantee the success of eradication efforts, adapting our strategies as necessary to meet evolving conditions. Some other key benefits of hiring professional carpenter ant removal services include:

Safety: Professionals are trained to handle pest control products safely, reducing the risk of exposure for both humans and pets.

Cost-effectiveness: While DIY products may seem cheaper at first glance, they often require multiple applications or fail to provide long-term solutions. Professional services may cost more upfront, but they offer better value in the long run by effectively eradicating the infestation and preventing future ones.

Customized solutions: Every infestation is different and requires a unique approach. Professional carpenter ant removal services can tailor their treatment plans to address the specific needs of your property, taking into consideration factors such as the size and location of the infestation.

Our team is dedicated to providing not only immediate relief but also long-lasting protection against these destructive pests. We understand that each property is unique and may require different methods for effective eradication. That’s why we offer personalized solutions based on our thorough understanding of carpenter ant behavior and biology.

“We had drake out twice to our home. The first time we had bees and wasps in our soffits and windows. After a visit from drake they were completely gone. The second time he came out, we had a box elder treatment done and it worked amazing! They were absolutely everywhere before Drake came by and after they were completely gone. Super pleased with the service and I highly recommend!”

– Taylor Dawson

“My family unfortunately brought home bed bugs from a Toronto hockey tournament and our life has been upside down for over two months. I wish I had called Drake the moment we realized our infestation. We initially called another company and they said that I was already taking all the right precautions. Skip to two months later and it is so much worse than we could ever imagine. We didn’t completely understand the prep work required prior to the treatment and Kevin was unreal in keeping us calm! He offered to buy us coffees and even help with all the prep work so we could get it done that day!!! It’s definitely overwhelming (especially for a family of 5) but needs to be done right. The pricing is unbeatable. Like I said I WISH I called them from the beginning. Don’t even hesitate!!!! Kevin was so knowledgeable and was reassuring that it will be ok!”

– Kati kennedy

“This was the literal best extermination I have ever witnessed. He literally destroyed the pests to the point that they no longer exist on this planet. He killed their grandchildren. Was on time. “

– Eric arthurs

“Great service. Very kind. Overall 5 star experience!”

– Glorious Sons

“We had renters at our cottage who couldn’t access the lake due to a hornet nest. Being three hours away, I was unable to handle the situation myself, nor was I super thrilled about the possibility of being stung a hundred times. Drake arrived within an hour of my call and saved my guests’ weekend. I highly recommend his services.”

– Liz Jennings

“After waking up to a pile of ‘sawdust’ in our pantry, after a week of watching large ants and wondering ‘are these carpenter ants’, we finally googled for help. We felt overwhelmed and anxious. We live in the country, in a log home, and there are ants in the decomposing nature which surrounds us. But having them nesting in our home is not an option. We called Drake and spoke with Tracey. She is wonderful…thorough in her questions, reassuring with her description of the process and quick in her actions to remedy the situation. Within 2 hours Kevin showed up. He was equally calming, knowledgeable and patient as he walked us through our home, carefully listening to our observations and inspecting all areas on his own. After observing the pathways of ants, both inside and outside the home, he got to work while we tried to relax outdoors. Once he finished his work, he checked in with us and gave us some suggestions for future maintenance to prevent further nuisances with unwanted pests. It has now been 4 days since Kevin took care of our ants. In the past days, we have seen fewer and fewer ants.
Today, we saw only one and it had clearly encountered the treats that Kevin left behind. Each day we become more comfortable, as we see the positive results of Drake Pest Management and their team. We are finally breathing easy and confident that the situation is under control. We highly recommend Drake. We will continue using their services for maintenance in the years ahead…protecting our home from these unwanted and destructive pests is a priority for us.”

– Ann and Shawn Armstrong

“If I could go beyond five stars I would! Kevin was so friendly when he arrived at the house and was incredibly thorough in our walk through both indoors and out. They did an emergency treatment after I arrived home from my sister having a baby. Hard to have a sweet newborn around with flies everywhere! THANK YOU so much for rushing this job and being so amazing. This is the only company to use in the KFLA area!”

– Laura

“Drake is truly the best person to go to for all your pest control problems! From beginning to end, Drake was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and patient with everything. When I first contacted him, it was almost 2 am in the morning, and he still took my urgent call, and was able to schedule something right away for me. He is very honest with his pricing and quotes, and truly cares about his customers. He takes the time to thoroughly explain to you what the best course of action will be and how he will be treating your pest issue. I have been dealing with beetles and their larvae, and he was able to come and treat that issue right away. His pest control company truly stands out from all the other companies – it is so much more in depth and focused. He truly wants to resolve all your pest control problems, and will do everything it takes to get rid of the pests.
