How do I get rid of carpenter ants in my home?

Question: How do I get rid of carpenter ants in my home?

Answer: Ridding your home of carpenter ants begins with locating where they are nesting. Often, a“do-it-yourself” approach isn’t successful since carpenter ants might be living in the walls, under floors living behind cabinets and other hidden areas inside or might also be living outdoors and coming inside to feed on leftover food and food-related debris. Carpenter ant management almost always is a job for your Pest Management Professional.
