Carpenter Ants Removal Services in Eugene

Carpenter ants are appropriately named for their preference to make their nests in damaged wood that is moist. Most of the time this damaged wood in in the way of rotting stumps or logs. But, occasionally this can mean building their nests in your home or office, especially if the wood in these buildings has been softened by extreme moisture.

Carpenter ants typically will build two different types of nests one known as the parent nest, and one known as the satellite nest. The carpenter ants population will begin building the satellite nest when the parent colony gets to the point of being too small to sustain the colony. It is not unusual for one parent nest to be associated with several satellite nests.

How Do I Know If I Have Carpenter Ants?
Accurately identifying carpenter ants by physical characteristics can be very difficult if you are not a professional. Their size ranges from 2 to 20mm in length and, while they are typically black, they can also be yellow, red, dark brown, and orange. The first sign that most people notice of a carpenter ant nest is the presence of swarmers, or ants with wings. The colony will produce these ants when the parent nest gets mature and is prepared to make a satellite nest. Another sign of carpenter ants is little piles of wood shavings and pieces of dead ants. On occasion people report hearing a rustling sound as the carpenter ants build their nests.
