Why carpenter ants matter
They excavate wood to nest—often where moisture has already softened structure. Killing a few foragers on the counter isn’t the same as locating nest zones and conditions that support them.
Our process
Inspect interior and exterior for trails, frass, moisture, and nest clues.
Treat based on findings (not a random perimeter spray alone).
Discuss moisture/wood issues you may need a contractor for
we’re pest control, not a renovation company.

Common questions
FAQ
How much does carpenter ant treatment cost?
Typically about $430 to $440, plus HST, with a 6-month warranty on the standard carpenter program.
Are these the same as sugar ants?
Not always. Smaller trail ants are often a different program (about $300–$310 + HST, 90-day warranty). We’ll identify what you’re dealing with.
Do older Port Hope homes get carpenter ants more often?
Older wood and moisture issues can raise risk. That doesn’t mean every older home has them—an inspection tells you.
Do you fix rotten wood?
We treat the ants. Structural repairs are outside pest service—we’ll flag what we see.
