Carpenter ants cause Denver, Colorado residents thousands of dollars each year. |
With warmer weather just around the corner homeowners in Denver, Fort Collins and throughout Colorado must be on the lookout for increased carpenter ant activity. While carpenter ants do venture from their satellite colonies on warmer winter days, they really emerge in large numbers once spring has arrived, infesting homes and surrounding property. At EnviroPest we understand how annoying carpenter ant infestations can be and that is why we offer information about these invading pests as well as our carpenter ant control services to help you get rid of carpenter ants should the need arise.
Ants by nature are foragers and carpenter ants are no exception. Carpenter Ants are larger ants usually measuring 1/2" to 3/4" long. They are black or brown in color, and although they typically reside in wet, rotten or decayed wood they will attack dry undamaged wood in order to make tunnels and galleries as well as expand their nests. A common misconception is that carpenter ants eat the wood they attack but that is actually untrue. Carpenter ants survive on other insects as well as staples around your home including meats, pet food, sugar, honey and other sweets. It is not uncommon to see carpenter ants in kitchens, bathrooms and common areas as well as around your foundation. They tend to enter homes and buildings through cracks around doors and windows as well as around the foundation and even on utility lines that pass through your home’s walls. Like many other pests they are known to use shrubs or tree limbs as a bridge to your home.
If you notice carpenter ants in or around your home this spring, contacting a Denver pest control company that offers relief from these pests is the ideal solution.
