Most ant infestations occur in late spring and early summer, with moist areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, door frames, window frames and baseboards being
common areas for infestation. Carpenter ants are known for causing damage to wooden structures by taking advantage of moist conditions in structural wood wall voids, insulation, and hollows of doors.
If you suspect an ant infestation, it’s important to act quickly to prevent damage and control the population. The best way to control carpenter ant and pavement ant infestations is through residual spray treatment. For pharaoh ants, bait gel treatment is recommended.
