Contending With Carpenter Ants

Nearly every home across Canada is housing one form of ant or another but few species are as problematic as the carpenter ant. These pests sneak in through opened windows or doors, creep into cracks or let themselves be carried in as if they were invited guests. However they manage it, once carpenter ants cross the threshold, they get to work, bringing down the house - literally! With spring showers in full swing, these damp-driven insects are hard to keep out. The only real way to get results is with professional removal.

What Makes Carpenter Ants Such A Danger

There doesn’t seem to be much sense in worrying about one minuscule mouth but ants tend to travel in the thousands. Unlike termites who chow down on wood for their meals, these ants chew up foundations just to make their own highways. Travelling through sound wood allows ants to dig deep into the tough to reach areas of properties, making it really impossible to get rid of them completely. This is why DIY just doesn’t work.

Everyday ant baits and traps might attract insects little by little but they won’t put a dent in the overall population. Even if you stop seeing them as often, there are always ants lurking just behind the scene. Luckily, Toodaloo technicians are willing and able to track and treat even the most stubborn home invaders.

Getting the best results for our clients means needing to have x-ray vision. Well, there may not be such a thing as x-ray goggles but our specialists have the next best thing - imaging tools! With the right tools at hand, technicians can see behind walls and beneath flooring to spot satellite nests that might have formed there. Injection rods can then be used to treat areas directly instead of filling homes with chemicals or drilling unnecessary holes into walls.
