Carpenter Ants are the #1 wood destroying insect in Washington. The main species in our area have an average length of 1/2 inch. The most common spices found infesting Washington homes is Camponotus modoc. This ant is all black and will be found mainly in the kitchen or the bathroom in early spring. Most home owners think that there must be a wet spot in their homes before these ants will infest. Not always true. The average Carpenter Ant will infest wood with a minimum of 12% moisture present, in the Pacific Northwest it is hard to find a home with less then 12% moisture due to our climate. This is why these ants need to be addressed immediately if they are seen in your home.
Some companies will offer to just do a spot treat or tell you that they can be stopped from outside. There is very little truth to this. These ants will cause structural damage if they are let go or a treatment is applied wrong. If you think you might have a Carpenter Ant colony in your home call us for a FREE evaluation.
Don't Just take my word for it.
"Since many houses are being built in forested areas, well established, vigorous colonies are readily available in the immediate vicinity to attack these dwellings. This is especially true when homeowners insists the home be built with a minimal removal of trees."Dr. Laurel Hanson, WSU Dept. of Entomology. " Since the colonies are already established, damage to a house can occur in a shorter time and is not limited to decaying wood. Not surprising, satellite colonies found in houses frequently contain up to several thousand workers."
