Protect your home with Orion Carpenter Ant Service
What are Carpenter Ants?
Carpenter Ants are a real concern for many homeowners in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. They can cause damage to the wood that makes up your home and often will come back to the structure year after year. Carpenter ant problems can be difficult to control the first time, so you certainly do not want them to re-infest! Since Carpenter Ants are social insects, their colonies are organized into complex societies with a division of labor among the different castes. The Carpenter Ant plays an important role in the environment by acting as major decomposers of dead or fallen trees within the forest. However, since they are very efficient destroyers of wood, they can become a very serious economic pest when they enter man-made structures.
Typical signs of carpenter ant infestations may include:
- Carpenter Ant adults usually appear as large black ants. However, some species contain combinations of black, red or orange occurring on various parts of the body.
- Carpenter Ants prefer to attack wood which has been moistened and is damp or weakened by decay. The difference between carpenter ants and termites is that termites eat the wood while carpenter ants make nests within the structure.
- Carpenter Ant nests can be located in attics, underneath floor coverings, in ceilings, and cracks in walls.
- Carpenter Ants are most active during the night when they forage for food
- Carpenter Ants may bite in defense when their nest is disturbed
Currently have an active Carpenter Ant infestation?
For residents with an active Carpenter Ant infestation at home, the Orion Carpenter Ant SystemTM focuses on eliminating active ant colonies. Detailed inspections are performed to locate Carpenter Ant trails and with pinpoint accuracy, our pest management professionals deliver the system. The ants feed on the bait, taking it back to the colony where it is fed to other ants, thus destroying the colony. The system includes identifying carpenter ant trails, utilizing baits and traditional materials as necessary. The program is available only through Orion Pest Solutions.
Can I treat Carpenter Ants myself?
Over the counter products for Carpenter Ant control are usually not successful. Generally, when using these products, you run the risk of damaging your property and they are rarely successful in eliminating the entire ant colony. These products are also not customized to treat a particular ant species since they are generic and are used for all types of ants.
What is covered under the Orion Carpenter Ant System Service?
When you purchase either of the two available Orion Carpenter Ant Renewal options, any re-infestations you may have are solved at no extra cost to you since we will re-implement the Orion Carpenter Ant System.
Why should I consider the Carpenter Ant System Service?
Carpenter ants can become a serious economic pest when they infest your home since they are very efficient at destroying wood. While they do not eat wood, they will keep chewing through it to expand the size of their nests as the size of the colony increases.
