Carpenter Ant Removal in Plant City & Brandon, FL

Carpenter Ants are often called Bull Ants.

They range in color from deep black to a rich reddish-brown, showcasing a variety of hues that can make identification interesting. In terms of size, these ants may vary significantly, measuring anywhere from 1/4 inch to a notable 3/4 inch in length. When observing a colony, you might see either wingless worker ants bustling about or, during certain times of the year, winged reproductive ants preparing to take flight. It’s important to note that a Florida Carpenter Ant bears a resemblance to a Termite, but they are distinctly different species. One of the unique characteristics that set them apart is their unusually large size, which often makes them more noticeable.

As Carpenter Ants excavate their nests, they leave behind piles of a sawdust-like material known as frass, which can be a telltale sign of their activity. Additionally, if you listen closely, you might hear faint clicking or rustling sounds emanating from within walls, which may also indicate the presence of these pests. If left unchecked, Carpenter Ants can establish nests within the home, leading to significant damage to structural elements like framing, sheathing, and even furniture. You may often find their trails along various surfaces, including the edges of carpets, door frames, and the tops of fences, further indicating their presence as they forge paths in search of food and resources.

An occasional ant does not indicate the presence of a nest in your home.

Scouts from the nest will travel up to the length of a football field to find food. Continuous or numerous ants are a more accurate sign of nesting. If you suspect an infestation, you should have an inspection as soon as possible to avoid any further damage.
