Croton-on-Hudson's wooded environment, mature trees, and proximity to water sources create ideal conditions for carpenter ants. These pests are attracted to moisture-damaged wood, which is common in older homes and properties near the Hudson River. The village's tree-lined streets also provide natural pathways for ants to access homes.

Carpenter ants are significantly larger than common household ants, typically 1/4 to 1/2 inch long, and are usually black or dark brown. Key signs include piles of sawdust-like wood shavings near baseboards or windowsills, faint rustling sounds in walls, and sightings of large winged ants in spring. If you see large ants indoors, especially near wood structures, contact us for a professional inspection.

Most carpenter ant treatments show significant results within 7-10 days, with complete colony elimination typically achieved within 2-4 weeks. Treatment timeline depends on colony size and location.
