Wood-Destroying Insects
Carpenter Ant Control New Haven
Carpenter ants are one of the most destructive pests in New Haven-area homes, excavating galleries in wood to build nests. Unlike termites, they don't eat wood — they tunnel through it, leaving behind smooth galleries and piles of sawdust (frass). New Haven multi-family homes, townhouses, and wood-frame homes are especially vulnerable. Treatment requires locating satellite colonies and the parent nest.

FAQ
Carpenter Ant Control — Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions our licensed exterminators receive about carpenter ant control in New Haven, including costs, treatment timelines, preparation steps, and what results to expect.
How much does carpenter ant treatment cost?
Carpenter Ant Control is billed at a flat $199/hr, 1-hour minimum, no matter the pest type or severity. Every job includes an inspection and an upfront estimate before any work begins — the rate never changes based on what we find.
How do I know if I have carpenter ants or regular ants?
Carpenter ants are large (1/4 to 1/2 inch), usually black, and you may find piles of fine sawdust (frass) near wooden structures. You might hear faint rustling sounds in walls. Regular ants are much smaller and don't produce sawdust.
Do carpenter ants cause as much damage as termites?
Carpenter ants cause significant structural damage but typically work slower than termites. However, a mature carpenter ant colony can have thousands of workers actively excavating wood. Left untreated, damage can be extensive and costly.
What attracts carpenter ants to my home?
Carpenter ants are attracted to moist, decaying wood. Water damage, roof leaks, plumbing issues, and wood-to-soil contact create ideal conditions. Addressing moisture problems is a key part of carpenter ant control.
How long does carpenter ant treatment take?
Initial treatment takes 1-2 hours. Colony elimination typically takes 2-4 weeks as bait is carried back to the nest. We include follow-up inspections at 2 and 4 weeks to ensure complete elimination.
