Carpenter ants get their name because they are so good at building their nests. They actually excavate wood to form smooth tunnels where they live, causing potentially serious problems for your home. Carpenter ants can build nests in any area with wood around your home, but they tend to prefer wood that is a bit moist. You may find them in and around your indoor sinks, tubs, windows that are not properly sealed
Once ants find a way into your home or business, they can be extremely difficult to get rid of. They can enter through the smallest of holes or cracks and once they communicate to their colony that they have located a food source, you will soon have hundreds or thousands of ants marching in. Ridding your home, business and/or property of ants most often should be left to a professional. The team at EcoTech specializes in ant inspection
Carpenter ants are one of the largest species of ants that live in Minnesota. They have wings and are often found inside homes in the spring and they can cause damage when they remove wood as they create galleries and tunnels for nesting. They are attracted to wood that is moist. So, if you see ants with wings in or around your home, you may have a carpenter ant problem.

Having insects in your home or office can be one of the most frustrating problems, hard to control and they can also cause serious damage. If you notice ants, asian beetles, box elder bugs, or any other insect in your home, it is best to contact professional bug exterminators quickly. More often than not, when you see one, there are more to come. Insects are great to find openings in your home, get in between your walls and live in attics and other areas where they will be undisturbed, and can breed.
