A Hidden Threat in Your Home
Have you spotted large black ants scurrying across your floors or walls? These could be carpenter ants, and they’re more than just an annoyance—they’re a potential threat to your home. Unlike termites, carpenter ants don’t eat wood, but they can still cause serious damage by hollowing it out to build their nests. If you’re noticing these unwelcome guests, it’s time to take action. Stewart Pest Solutions is here to help you reclaim your home from these destructive invaders.
Where Carpenter Ants Lurk
Carpenter ants are drawn to water-damaged wood, making it the perfect spot for their nests. As they excavate galleries in the softened wood, they leave behind telltale signs: piles of sawdust-like frass. You might find these wood shavings near nesting sites, a clear indicator of their presence. But they don’t stop there—carpenter ants can also infest other secluded areas of your home.
These crafty pests often trail along your home’s foundation, searching for entry points. They’re resourceful climbers too, using trees, shrubs, or other plants to reach your roof and sneak inside. To keep them at bay, it’s essential to clear away vegetation touching your home or any structure you’re treating. This simple step can block their access and protect your property.

What to Expect from Our Carpenter Ant Service
Thorough Inspection
When you call Stewart Pest Solutions, our skilled technicians will perform a detailed inspection of your property. We’ll confirm the presence of carpenter ants, identify the extent of the infestation, and recommend a customized treatment plan tailored to your home or building.
Timing Is Everything
Carpenter ant treatments vary by season. The best time to tackle them is when nighttime temperatures are warm, and the ants are actively foraging outside. This ensures maximum effectiveness and faster results.
Targeted Treatment
Our approach is precise and effective. We apply a specialized insecticide around your home’s exterior foundation, designed specifically for social insects like carpenter ants. This non-repellent formula ensures the ants don’t avoid treated areas. As they cross these zones, they pick up the insecticide and carry it back to their nest, eliminating the colony—often within a week. While a single treatment is usually enough, some cases may require follow-up services.
Long-Term Prevention
Carpenter ants can be persistent, sometimes returning to old galleries or establishing new nests. To keep them out for good, ask your technician about our recurring maintenance services. A proactive plan can ensure your home stays ant-free year-round.
