Restless Nights Thanks to Chewing Sounds

Carpenter ants make noise when they are burrowing through wood, often described as the sound of crinkling cellophane.

Rapid Reproduction

Carpenter ant queens lay 9 to 16 eggs the first year and may live up to 25 years. Meanwhile, eggs complete their lifecycle in about 6-12 weeks.

Our Approach

Carpenter Ant Control Made Personal

Orkin Pros are trained to diagnose and treat carpenter ant problems. Because every home is different, they work with you to design a unique program for your situation.

The Orkin Pro Process

The Orkin Pro Process

Inspect

We begin with a thorough inside‑and‑out inspection to locate carpenter ant activity, identify wood damage, and uncover moisture or structural conditions that allow colonies to thrive.

Diagnose

Using expert identification and behavioral insights, we determine the scale of the infestation, find hidden ant nests, and identify the factors, such as debris or moist wood, that are attracting carpenter ants.

Protect

We implement a targeted treatment plan using baits, natural insecticides, and chemical solutions as needed to eliminate workers, larvae, and the queen while sealing entry points to prevent re‑infestation.

Monitor

We place monitors in key areas like kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms, and garages to track carpenter ant activity and ensure ongoing protection as the colony is eliminated.

Report

After each visit, we provide a detailed report outlining nest locations, treatments applied, and recommendations, such as moisture reduction, to help keep carpenter ants from returning.
