Carpenter Ants

Carpenter ants are tenacious insects which left untreated can do thousands of dollars in damage behind the walls, completely undetected by the homeowner. Carpenter ants usually establish nests in a number of locations throughout a home. The parent colony consists of a queen, its brood and over 2000 worker ants. They then have satellite colonies in different areas with workers but no queen. She will never leave the main nest.

These ants are nocturnal by nature so you could have thousands of ants in the walls yet only see 4 or 5 at a time. To have an effective treatment you must kill the queen ant. Most Pest Companies only do a baseboard treatment and place some dust near a wall plug but that will never reach the nest.
