"Had carpenter ants damaging our deck. Charles found where they were nesting and took care of the whole colony. He also showed me what to look for so I could catch it early next time. Excellent service."
Camponotus pennsylvanicus
Carpenter ants are Wisconsin's most destructive ant species, excavating galleries in wood to build nests. Unlike termites, they don't eat wood but can cause significant structural damage over time. Black carpenter ants are the largest ant species in Waukesha County, often exceeding 1/2 inch. They prefer moisture-damaged wood, making homes with water issues particularly vulnerable.
Carpenter ants leave clean, smooth galleries with sawdust piles (frass), while termites leave mud tubes and rougher tunnels. Carpenter ants are visible and active, while termites are hidden. Our free inspection identifies the exact species.
Yes, untreated carpenter ant infestations can cause significant structural damage over time. In Wisconsin's climate, moisture-damaged wood accelerates their activity. Early detection and professional treatment prevents costly repairs.
