If you can tell that insects are damaging your home’s wood surfaces, you’ll want to call in a pest control professional as soon as possible. By being proactive about addressing the problem, you can help to minimize the damage. When you notice such damage, you might wonder if it’s from termites, carpenter ants, or a different pest. With carpenter ants, the wood is left looking quite smooth and clean with little holes in it, whereas termites cause a bigger mess and often drag mud/soil through the areas where they are active. In either case, you can call Core Pest Solutions to handle the job. Our local pest control company can expertly remove carpenter ants and termites from your property. Here are four indications of a carpenter ant infestation in your home.
With a bad infestation of carpenter ants, you might discover numerous piles of wood shavings where the ants have been doing their work.
If you see carpenter ant wings scattered around your home, you don’t want to assume that they have died off. Rather, this could be an indication that they’ve finished the shedding phase of their life cycle, and are continuing to live somewhere nearby.
If you knock on the wall where there should be a stud, but then hear a hollow sound, then you could be dealing with hidden carpenter ant damage. Termites can also cause hollow studs.
Carpenter ants often construct their nests within walls, and when they’re active they can cause rustling noises. These sounds coming from within the wall can actually be quite obnoxious, and definitely mean you should call for help from our local pest control professionals.
