Carpenter Ant Inspection

Carpenter ant inspection is a crucial step in identifying and preventing structural damage caused by these destructive pests. Unlike termites, carpenter ants do not eat wood, but they tunnel through it to build nests, weakening the structural integrity of homes and buildings. Professional inspections detect active colonies, locate entry points, and help create a treatment plan to protect your property.

  • Early Detection of Damage: Inspections uncover carpenter ant activity before significant structural damage occurs, saving time and preventing costly repairs.
  • Identifies Entry Points: Professionals locate areas where ants gain access, including cracks, gaps, and moisture-prone areas.
  • Uncovers Hidden Colonies: Carpenter ants often nest inside walls, attics, and crawl spaces where they cannot be easily seen without an inspection.
  • Protects Structural Integrity: Inspections help ensure that wood beams, frames, and supports remain strong and intact.
  • Customized Recommendations: Inspectors provide tailored solutions based on the severity and location of infestations.
  • Peace of Mind: Knowing your property has been inspected by an expert reduces uncertainty about hidden pest activity.
