Carpenter Ants<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Carpenter ants are common pests that show up in NJ homes. These wood-chewing ants are a big problem for homeowners, but not as damaging as termites. If you see these large ants in your home, it\u2019s important to get in touch with your pest control company in Freehold<\/a> as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

Carpenter Ant Damage<\/strong><\/p>\n

While sugar ants and other kinds of ants can cause headaches for homeowners by getting into food supplies, carpenter ant infestations can lead to even bigger headaches. These black ants, which can grow up to half an inch long, build tunnels by chewing through wood.<\/p>\n

Carpenter ants don\u2019t eat wood, but they cause significant damage to homes with their extensive tunnel building. Carpenter ants <\/a>typically build their main nest outdoors, but they have been known to build smaller nests inside walls and other hollow indoor spots, as well as in decks and porches.<\/p>\n

Carpenter ant damage can be hard to notice, since it mainly affects areas that are out of plain sight. If you notice these pests inside your home you may have an infestation, so play it safe by having a pest control professional inspect your home.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t wait for carpenter ants to cause major damage to your home. If you see them, contact your pest control company in Freehold for help. Call Allison Pest Control<\/a>, and we\u2019ll exterminate them for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
