Carpenter Ant Treatment in NJ

The typical Carpenter Ant colony in NJ consists of different sizes of carpenter ant workers, all of which are identified as having one node. The thorax of a carpenter ant is round and shaped uniformly. This distinguishes carpenter ants from other ants in New Jersey. Most carpenter ants in NJ are black in color, although there are varying carpenter ant color traits, such as tan or light brown. Carpenter ants in NJ are most commonly found outside the house foraging for food or simply migrating from the carpenter ant nest. When more than one carpenter ant is found in the home, this can mean that the nest is too close for comfort and wood damage to your home may be ongoing as the carpenter ant nest spreads. Carpenter ants will swarm during mating and many New Jersey residents call a professional pest control service when the swarm occurs.

Sawdust or wood dust around found inside or outside of the home is usually a tell tale sign that carpenter ants have invaded your NJ residence. Because carpenter ants are creatures of the night, or nocturnal, you may not always notice their ongoing activity. Sawdust, however, will be prevalent in areas where the carpenter ant activity is occurring. Carpenter ants trails may also be found at night in areas where there is a source of wood. These carpenter ant trails can be followed and will lead to the carpenter ant nest. NJ residents should call Arkadia Pest Control in NJ immediately if this activity is noticed.

Carpenter ants in NJ will usually enter the home by trailing tree branches or other paths that lead into your house like cable lines.

Carpenter Ant Prevention in NJ

If you are having or have had issues with carpenter ants in the past, there are many techniques that can be used to rid yourself and your house of the problem. The best method for preventing carpenter ant from appearing indoors is to lower moisture conditions that attract carpenter ants, as well as many other insects. Installing a dehumidifier in a moisture filled basement or crawl space definitely helps. You should also replace any wet or water damaged wood. Also, keep any firewood far away from the foundation of the house or garage. It is also a good idea to cover these wood pilings to keep them protected from wet weather.

If the above prevention techniques fail, call a pest professional to deal with the carpenter ants. If you are a New Jersey resident dealing with carpenter ants, call 973-525-2966 to speak with a member of our staff.
