When you need woodwork done, you hire a carpenter. If you want to get rid of the wood in your house, invite carpenter ants into your home. Carpenters build wood — carpenter ants destroy it. Instead of eating wood, these tiny architects use it to build their nests. Left unchecked, they can cause major property damage.

How Do You Know if Your NH Home Has Carpenter Ants?
Carpenter ants hold the dubious title of the top household pest in the Northeast. Look for these signs of an infestation:
- Visible ants: Carpenter ants are often larger than your standard garden ant. They range in size from 1/4 inch to over 5/8 inches. While most ants are black, some are a combination of black, brown, or red.
- Wood shavings: As carpenter ants burrow, they leave piles of sawdust-like wood. Look for these signs near doorframes or baseboards.
- Winged ants: You may see flying ants, called swarmers. These reproductive ants leave the nest in spring to create new colonies.
- Rustling sounds: Listen for faint scratching or rustling noises in your walls or woodwork.
- Ant trails: Foraging carpenter ants travel in a line when searching for food.
Call us if you notice these infestation red flags. We take quick action to remove nests and prevent carpenter ants from returning.

Our Proven New Hampshire Ant Control Program
Effective carpenter ant control relies on a combination of techniques. We assess infestations on a case-by-case basis and apply the most effective solution. Our methods include:
- Nest location: Each service starts with a detailed inspection to locate the nests. Carpenter ants prefer damp wood, so our technicians often find them in areas with high moisture levels or those with leaks.
- Flushing: When we find the nest, we use a Microgen Microinjector to flush it out. This device emits a fine mist of insecticide into cracks, allowing it to infiltrate the colony.
- Baits: If we can see ant trails but not the nest, we use bait. The foraging ants take the bait back to the colony. Since this method takes time to work, we often use it with an insecticide residual treatment.
- Insecticide: We apply insecticide to any potential spots where we suspect ant activity.
