Carpenter ants hollow out damp or damaged wood rather than eating it, which means their presence often signals a moisture problem worth investigating too. Every Ant Control call in Stanaford starts with tracing the trail's direction rather than guessing, which is what keeps us from treating the wrong side of the colony.
A technician checks for carpenter ant frass and moisture damage in addition to standard trail mapping.


Our Ant Control crew is trained on species-specific colony behavior, not just surface spraying.
We prioritize fire ant mound calls given the sting risk to kids and pets.
You'll know the full cost before any bait station or barrier spray goes down.
We use non-repellent insecticide and slow-acting bait so the colony carries product back to the nest instead of scattering.
We trace frass (wood shavings) piles back to the actual nest location, often inside a wall void or damaged sill plate.
We use non-repellent bait specifically because a startled odorous house ant colony can split and multiply the problem.
We treat expansion joints and slab edges directly, which is where pavement ant colonies typically establish.
We prioritize fire ant calls in yards with kids or pets given the sting risk from disturbed mounds.
Commercial accounts get documented service visits with bait station placement suited to kitchen and retail environments.
A perimeter barrier around the foundation reduces new trails from forming after the initial colony is addressed.

Our mobile units stock separate bait types for carpenter, odorous house, pavement, and fire ants.

Guarantee coverage means continued trail activity after the guarantee window gets a free re-treatment.
Carpenter ants turned out to be nesting in a water-damaged window sill we didn't know about — the technician caught it during inspection.
The mound treatment plus yard bait meant no new mounds popped up nearby afterward.
Having a documented ant program helped us pass our last health inspection without issue.
We didn't realize odorous house ants had multiple satellite nests until the technician explained why our own spray kept failing.
