According to the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) ants will invade homes and businesses in search of food earlier this year due to several months of warm weather, and termites will likely get a head start on finding new food sources, which sadly, include our homes and businesses.
If you find either of these insects or their signs of damage in or around your home or business, you will want to get professional help. Carpenter ants damage wood, are extremely resilient and can forage from distances as far as 100 yards or more once they take a liking to a structure for their food, water and shelter needs. Carpenter ants are very difficult to control because you must eliminate the nest. Spraying or baiting alone may not work. Treating termites is an undertaking you will definitely want to enlist the assistance of a professional for. Termite treatment options vary, and having a termite expert customize a termite solution for you will go a long way toward giving you peace of mind. A professional, reputable termite and pest control company with professional, licensed and tenured termite control specialists can inspect your home or business and protect your structure from wood destroying insects.
