  • Understanding How Carpenter Ant Activity Develops
    Carpenter ants are commonly found in damp or damaged wood where they tunnel to create nesting galleries. Unlike termites, they do not eat wood but can still cause structural damage over time as they expand their colonies.

  • Thorough Inspection You Can Rely On
    At Petty Pest Control, we inspect wood structures, wall voids, and moisture-prone areas where carpenter ants are likely to nest. This helps us locate active colonies and identify the conditions allowing the infestation to grow.
