Carpenter ants: a potentially costly problem
Unlike most ants that are more of a nuisance than an actual property threat, carpenter ants can do significant damage to your home. While they do not actually eat wood, carpenter ants damage wood by excavating and creating galleries and tunnels. If a colony remains present long enough, carpenter ants can actually weaken structural wood and cause sever damage.
Don’t try to kill carpenter ants yourself!
But before you try to get rid of carpenter ants yourself, you should know that most “do-it-yourself” ant control efforts can often prove ineffective. Carpenter ant colonies are commonly located in wall voids and areas of your home that are hard to find. Most over-the-counter sprays are repellent and have difficulty controlling entire colonies.
How Termidor® controls carpenter ants
Termidor® termiticide/insecticide is an advanced undetectable treatment that is professionally applied outside your home. Carpenter ants never know it’s there, so they can’t react to it or avoid it. Instead, they pick up Termidor as they feed and move about and then spread it to other ants in their colony.
