Whether by ground or air, pests are No Match For Us
Flying Ants are never a good thing to find inside your home, but if you should notice them during cold, winter months you’re likely dealing with an infestation. Luckily, you’ve got the expert technicians at Best Pest Control Ottawa on your side.
Are they carpenter ants or termites?
There are several similarities between carpenter ants and termites but one major difference is that termites eat wood. Carpenter ants carve out wood and nest inside. Small piles of sawdust can be spotted near the entrance to a carpenter ant colony, usually located inside damp wood. You’re more likely to spot carpenter ant workers while they’re out foraging for food. They’re usually dark in colour with tiny waists, bent antennae, and if they have wings the back ones will be shorter than the front ones.
What is it about your house that caught their interest?
Chances are you’ve had some water damage caused by leaks or outside elements coming into contact with unprotected wood. It’s a good idea to regularly check for potential problems and repair them right away. Also be sure to keep outdoor debris picked up and put out to the curb on yard waste collection day. Never pile firewood against your home or any outbuildings, and try to keep it as dry as possible.
Now that they’re inside what should you do?
Spraying store-bought pesticides on worker ants will not solve the problem.
If you suspect an infestation the best thing to do is locate the nest. With carpenter ants you could be dealing with multiple nests inside and out. When you spot the ants observe them as they travel back and forth from the main nest to their food source. The nests must be located, removed, and the entire area should be treated by a professional.
