Infestations of carpenter ants are a prevalent problem in cities across Canada, including Toronto. They thrive in forested locations, especially those with older, larger trees. Carpenter ants in Toronto are most active during the warmer months of the year and Bugsway Toronto Pest Control can help you mitigate and exterminate any ant issues you might have.
Carpenter ant infestations occur more or less frequently based on a number of circumstances, including the accessibility of food and nesting materials. Carpenter ants are attracted to decaying or moist wood, therefore damaged structures or those with nearby woodpiles are likely to have an increased carpenter ant population.
Carpenter ants are mostly found in the great outdoors, however they are known to set up secondary colonies inside buildings. Large, winged ants (reproductives) or worker ants may be visible signs of a carpenter ant infestation, as well as wood shavings or trash around potential nesting locations or rustling sounds originating from structural timber.
Carpenter ants may cause extensive damage to your Toronto home, so if you think you might have an infestation, it’s best to call in the pros at a pest control firm. Bugsway Ant Extermination Services can figure out how bad it is, and come up with a treatment strategy that will get rid of the ants and keep them from coming back.
