Carpenter ants are black or dark brown and have a narrow waist, bent antennae, and wings of unequal length if they're winged. Unlike termites, carpenter ants don't eat wood—they excavate it to build nests, leaving behind piles of sawdust-like frass. Termites are lighter in color with straight antennae and wings of equal length. Our technicians can accurately identify the pest and recommend the appropriate treatment.

Yes, carpenter ants are quite common in Pleasantville due to the area's abundance of mature trees, wooden structures, and older homes with potential moisture issues. They're especially active in spring and summer months and are attracted to damp or decaying wood, making proper home maintenance and professional inspections essential for prevention.

You'll typically see a significant reduction in carpenter ant activity within 2-3 days after treatment, with complete elimination occurring within 2-4 weeks.
