Carpenter ants are significantly larger than common household ants, typically measuring 1/4 to 1/2 inch in length. They're usually black or dark brown and leave behind piles of sawdust-like wood shavings called frass. If you notice large ants near wooden structures, hear faint rustling sounds in your walls, or find wood shavings near baseboards or window frames, you likely have carpenter ants that require professional treatment.

We can typically schedule an inspection within 24-48 hours of your call and begin treatment immediately upon approval. Initial treatments take 2-4 hours depending on your property size, and most infestations show significant reduction within the first week. Complete elimination usually requires 2-3 follow-up visits over 4-8 weeks to ensure all satellite colonies are destroyed.

Yes, Millburn's proximity to South Mountain Reservation and its abundance of mature trees create ideal conditions for carpenter ants. These pests naturally nest in decaying wood and dead trees, then migrate to nearby homes seeking additional nesting sites. Properties near wooded areas or with older trees on the lot are at higher risk and benefit from preventative inspections, especially during spring and early summer when carpenter ants are most active.
