Carpenter ants are incredibly destructive and infuriating pests. These insects tunnel through wooden structures such as supports and foundations to connect their nests. This results in billions of dollars of property damage every year across the US.
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.

Carpenter Ant Control
Carpenter ants love building their nests in humid locations within wooden material. Within your home, this could include windows, door frames, and any other area exposed to moisture. Each infestation is spread across multiple nests, with thousands of individual insects in total.
For over 50 years, the team at Sureguard Termite and Pest Services has been fighting carpenter ant infestations using our environmentally friendly treatments. These insecticides are applied to the tunnels in between nests. The ants then unwillingly carry the treatment to each nest, destroying the infestation. We also use baiting stations and other countermeasures.
Our four residential service plans can tackle any carpenter ant infestation throughout the year. Each tier entitles you to ¼ or 1-acre liquid perimeter treatments and other services. These treatments are installed and topped up on a quarterly or bi-monthly basis by our specially trained crews.
