Carpenter ants are significantly larger than common household ants, typically 1/4 to 1/2 inch long, and are usually black or dark brown. Unlike termites, they don't eat wood but excavate it to create nesting galleries, leaving behind piles of sawdust-like material called frass. If you notice large black ants, especially near windows, doors, or wooden structures, or find wood shavings beneath wooden areas, you likely have carpenter ants.

Bayonne's humid climate from its waterfront location, combined with many older wooden structures, creates perfect conditions for carpenter ants. These pests are attracted to moist or decaying wood, which is common in homes near Newark Bay and Kill van Kull. The city's dense housing also allows colonies to spread easily between properties if left untreated.

We offer same-day or next-day service for most Bayonne locations. Treatment typically takes 1-3 hours depending on your property size and infestation severity. Most customers see a significant reduction in carpenter ant activity within 24-48 hours, with complete elimination usually achieved within 2-4 weeks. We include follow-up visits to ensure the colony is fully eradicated.
