Swarmer VS Carpenter Ant Control in New England
A1 Exterminators is here to help with all your ant control needs.
Springtime in New England brings out both Swarmer Ants and Carpenter Ants—two very different pests that can cause big problems if left untreated. Swarmer ants are often the first sign of a colony nearby, while carpenter ants can cause costly damage by tunneling through wood. If you’ve spotted ants in your home or business, it’s important to act quickly. The licensed professionals at A1 Exterminators have the expertise to identify the type of ant and provide safe, effective treatment to protect your property from ants
Swarmer Ants appear in the summer months from May to August. These matured ants appear in swarms during early Spring, looking to expand their colony to a new nesting spot. If you see these ants swarming in or around your house, you have an expanding ant colony on your hands. This can mean serious structural damage to your home or business.
Carpenter Ants appear in the Spring as early as March, through early Fall. Their nests start outdoors in decaying logs, rotting fence posts, stumps, old firewood, damaged trees or in water-damaged wooden structures. This species is notorious for causing serious structural damage to homes that can cost thousands in repairs.
