How to Get Rid of Carpenter Ants
​
To get rid of carpenter ants it is best to consult professional exterminators who specialize in carpenter ant control. Meerkat Pest Control can offer expert inspection and treatment services using eco-friendly products and custom baiting systems that effectively eliminate the colony.
​
Treatment typically involves applying treating cracks, crevices, and nesting areas inside and outside the home. These services kill the entire colony as ants share the treated bait. Meerkat Pest Control also inspects for moisture problems and structural damage that attract carpenter ants, such as leaky roofs or damp wood, and treat nests in wall voids, attics, and crawl spaces
Preventative measures include:
​
-
Repairing moisture problems like leaks and damp wood to remove nesting sites.
-
Sealing cracks in foundations, gaps around pipes, vents, and chimneys.
-
Keeping firewood away from the house and off the ground.
-
Trimming back brush, shrubs, and tree limbs that provide ant bridges.

Little Black Ant Control
Little Black ants, pavement ants and other odorous house ants may not cause any structural damage but can be a significant nuisance. They are particularly attracted to carbohydrate sugars and often invade kitchens and sidewalks.
​
Identifying the Nest: We locate their nest or satellite colony, which is usually in a wall void adjacent to your kitchen.
​
Treatment: We then treat the ants, ensuring they don't return for their annual spring feeding.
