Carpenter Ant Treatment

Protect Your Property from Silent Structural Invaders

 

Carpenter ants may look like ordinary ants—but don’t be fooled. These large, black ants are one of the most destructive wood-infesting pests in North Carolina. Unlike termites, they don’t eat wood—they tunnel through it to build their nests, causing hidden structural damage over time.

At Living Legend Exterminator, we take carpenter ant infestations seriously. With over 15 years of pest control excellence in Raleigh and surrounding areas, our expert technicians are trained to detect, eliminate, and prevent these wood-boring pests with unmatched precision and professionalism.

Signs of a Carpenter Ant Infestation

​​

  • Large black ants (¼" to ½") spotted indoors, especially at night

  • Piles of sawdust-like debris (frass) near walls, windowsills, or baseboards

  • Faint rustling or chewing noises inside walls

  • Damaged wood with smooth, hollow galleries

  • Swarmers (winged ants) emerging indoors during spring or early summer

Carpenter ants prefer moist or decaying wood, making homes with water damage, leaks, or crawl spaces especially vulnerable.​​

 The Living Legend Carpenter Ant Control Process

  1.  Thorough Inspection

We don’t just spray and leave. We conduct deep structural inspections to locate the main colony (and satellite nests), identify moisture issues, and determine how carpenter ants are entering your property.

      2.      Targeted Elimination

We use industry-leading, EPA-registered baits, dusts, and barrier treatments that attack the colony at its source. Unlike surface sprays, our treatments reach deep inside walls, attics, crawl spaces, and behind siding—where these ants love to hide.

 3.    Structural Protection & Prevention

We apply long-lasting perimeter barriers to prevent future infestations, and provide expert recommendations for sealing cracks, repairing wood damage, and reducing moisture levels around your home or facility.

 Residential Carpenter Ant Control

Carpenter ants are a hidden threat to your home’s structure. Many infestations go undetected until damage is extensive—and costly. Whether you’re in a new build or a historic home, our team uses non-invasive techniques that prioritize safety, precision, and long-term protection for your family and investment.

The Hidden Dangers of Carpenter Ants

  • Undermine walls, beams, joists, and insulation

  • Expand rapidly with multiple nesting sites inside and outside

  • Costly structural repairs when left untreated

  • Often mistaken for termites, leading to improper treatment

  • Active year-round, especially in warm, moist conditions
