You’ve heard of cowboy carpenters, but carpenter ants might actually be worse. These pests cause millions of dollars of damage across the country every year, targeting wooden structures such as foundations and supports. This can lead to immense safety risks for you and your family.

Carpenter Ant Extermination Services
Carpenter ants target wooden structures as nesting sites. These relentless pests chew their way through the wood, creating a labyrinth of tunnels and galleries. This network connects several satellite nests together, rather than branching out from a central nest. This makes tackling a carpenter ant infestation extremely difficult.
Thankfully, the carpenter ant specialists at Sureguard Termite and Pest Services have some tricks up their sleeves. We’ve been removing these nests for over 50 years. This expertise has enabled us to craft a range of environmentally friendly treatments that target every nest at once. These include liquid spot treatments and efficient baiting stations.
Enrolling in one of our four residential service packages grants you access to our carpenter ant services. We administer these during our quarterly or bi-monthly appointments, helping you tackle carpenter ants all year long.

Carpenter ants are among the largest type of ants. There are at least 14 species of carpenter ants in Texas. Carpenter ants can be black, yellowish, red or a combination of red and orange. They make their colonies primarily in wood, especially very moist areas or areas affected by water damage.
Typical locations include:
- Wood affected by water seepage
- Areas around plumbing in kitchens and bathrooms
- Wood in contact with soil such as siding or porch supports
- Hollow wooden doors, ceiling beams
- Voids under attic insulation or in crawl spaces
These types of ants become pests when they begin to nest and or forage for food in homes and other buildings. By knowing where to look for them and understanding ways to control them, homeowners can minimize damage that could occur to their home.
