CARPENTER ANTS CAN NEST INSIDE VULNERABLE WOOD

Helping Protect Your Property from Carpenter Ant Activity

Activity May Point to Damp or Decaying Wood
Carpenter ants often favour moisture-affected wood and sheltered voids. Their presence may indicate a condition requiring closer inspection.

Hidden Galleries Can Be Difficult to Locate
The visible ants may be travelling away from a nesting area. Sawdust-like material, recurring trails or activity near wood can help identify areas of concern.

Carpenter Ant Extermination FAQs

1. Do you provide carpenter ant extermination in Stittsville?

Yes. Wayne’s provides carpenter ant services throughout Stittsville & Greater Ottawa.

2. How can I tell if I have carpenter ants?

Possible signs include large ants, recurring trails, activity near wood and sawdust-like material around possible nesting areas.

3. Do carpenter ants eat wood?

No. Carpenter ants excavate wood to create nesting galleries rather than consuming it as food.

4. Can carpenter ants damage my property?

Carpenter ant nesting activity can affect wood over time, particularly when a colony remains active in vulnerable areas.

5. Are carpenter ants attracted to moisture?

They often favour damp, softened or decaying wood. Moisture problems can create conditions suitable for nesting.

6. Where should I look for carpenter ant activity?

Common areas of concern include window and door frames, wall voids, attics, decks, damaged wood and locations affected by moisture.

7. Are the ants I see coming from one nest?

Not necessarily. Visible ants may travel some distance from a nest, and established activity may involve more than one nesting location.

8. Should damaged wood be repaired?

Moisture-damaged or decaying wood may need to be repaired or replaced. We can identify relevant conditions, but structural repairs may require an appropriate contractor.
