Carpenter ant extermination requires long term care by a professional. Unfortunately they can travel several hundred yards, often coming from your neighbor’s yard. Although we can not eliminate them from the outside we can maintain a barrier around your home to protect it. These ants can and will do harm to your home if left untreated and can cost thousands of dollars in damage.
