Protect your home from structural damage with expert carpenter ant control services
Call (888) 376-9109Carpenter ants pose a serious threat to the structural integrity of homes throughout the Pacific Northwest. Unlike termites that consume wood, carpenter ants excavate it to create their nests, leaving behind tunnels and galleries that weaken beams, joists, and framing. At Sunrise Pest and Turf Management, we provide comprehensive carpenter ant elimination services that locate and destroy colonies before they cause significant damage.
Our experienced technicians understand carpenter ant behavior and know where these insects establish their nests. We use this knowledge to target colonies directly and stop the damage they cause.
With over four decades protecting homes in Bremerton, Bellevue, Bainbridge Island, and surrounding communities, we have the expertise to handle carpenter ant infestations of any size.
Large black or reddish black ants, typically measuring between one quarter and one half inch in length. Workers may vary in size within the same colony.
Carpenter ants prefer moist, decaying wood but will tunnel into sound wood as colonies grow. They often nest in wall voids, attics, and areas around windows and doors.
Most active at night, these ants forage for food along established trails. You may see them crawling on walls, ceilings, or near food sources during evening hours.
Piles of fine sawdust called frass near baseboards or windowsills, rustling sounds within walls, and winged ants emerging indoors all indicate an active colony.
We conduct a thorough inspection to find active nests and identify the conditions attracting carpenter ants to your property.
Once nests are located, our technicians deploy a combination of baits, perimeter sprays, and targeted spot treatments to eliminate the entire colony.
We apply exterior treatments around your home's foundation and entry points to prevent new colonies from establishing.
Our carpenter ant service includes a 60 day warranty. If ant activity continues within that period, we return and retreat at no additional charge.
Carpenter ant activity may temporarily increase right after treatment as the colony is disrupted, but activity should cease entirely within a month. Spray products from hardware stores push ants deeper into hiding without solving the problem.
We provide professional services throughout King, Pierce, Kitsap, and Thurston counties, including:
