Carpenter Ant Prevention | Bug Tip Tuesday

Replace moisture-damaged wood.
Prevent moisture from wood or lumber that is stored in a garage or near the house by elevating it to allow air circulation.
Store firewood as far away from buildings as possible.
Remove tree and shrub stumps and roots.
Trim branches that overhang the home, so branches don’t touch the house (including roof and eaves).
Prune branches that touch electrical lines. Carpenter ants can travel from branches to lines and use them to get into buildings.
