Carpenter Ants can be hard to control. These ants generally have a parent and several satellite colonies. In the spring, be sure to remove any wood and decaying vegetation from the foundation of the property. Remove nesting sites such as tree stumps and dead limbs. Seal up any leaks or cracks and make sure rain gutters are directed away from the home. |
