๐Ÿœ๐Ÿœ It doesn't seem like a big deal, but one or two ants in your home signals that the colony is close by.

These ants are most likely scout ants sent to find food and water for the colony.

If you spot the scout ants, call us right away so we can track down the colony and start treatment for you.

Carpenter ants donโ€™t eat wood, like termites do. They carve it out to build nests.

That means damage can start long before you notice anything.

๐Ÿ‘‡Now hereโ€™s where it gets interesting.

Carpenter ants often set up satellite colonies. One outside. One inside. Both connected.

The problem is if you only kill one, and the other keeps going.

Our pest professionals have been highly trained to find and elimiate all carpenter ant colonies.

Call us right away if you see any "frass" (which looks like sawdust) and we'll get someone out to help you.

Think you might have a carpenter ant problem??

Watch for these signs:

๐Ÿœ Large black ants indoors, especially at night
๐Ÿชต Fine sawdust (frass) near baseboards or window frames
๐ŸŒ™ Rustling sounds in walls when the house is quiet
๐Ÿ’ง Activity near moisture like sinks, tubs, or leaky windows

As a proactive homeowner, we know that youโ€™d rather prevent a carpenter ant issue rather than have to deal with one. If you notice any of the signs above, call us right away.

๐ŸŒทYou may not know that spring warmth brings more than flowers.

Unfortunately, it brings carpenter ants closer to your home. ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

Around now through late spring, is when these ants expand their presence.

Colonies grow fast, food demand spikes and moist wood becomes prime real estate.

If you see little piles of saw dust or possible ant activity, contact us right away for a Suburban Proacive Inspection.

โŽ Keep mulch 6โ€“12 inches away from siding

โŽ Make sure water drains away from the foundation

โŽ Store firewood at least 20 feet from the house

โŽ Check that soil slopes away, not toward the home

โŽ Install a termite monitoring system

Here's the important part: small adjustments now reduce long-term risk.

If you think you could have an active termite issue or want to explore additional protection for your home, contact us today.

When they are in season, you could see them around windows, doors, or light fixtures - inside or outside.

Whatโ€™s less known is that swarmers signal a mature colony.

Termites donโ€™t swarm until theyโ€™re established and ready to reproduce.

That colony may have been nearby for several years.

If you see swarmers in or around your house, contact us right away for an evaluation to determite if you have an active colony near by or even under your house.

๐Ÿถ This might not be the first thing on your mind when you bring home a 20 or 40 pound bag of pet food.

However, keeping it in the paper container it comes in makes it easily accessible to mice.

Consider transferring it to a strudy plastic container - it will stay fresher longer and won't be easy for mice to grab a snack.

If you already notice mouse activity (light scratching around dusk, small droppings, shredded paper or insulation pulled into loose piles), call us right away so we can help you.
