Yes, carpenter ants are prevalent throughout Hackensack due to the area's humid climate and abundance of mature trees. Bergen County's mix of older wooden homes and moisture from the Hackensack River create ideal conditions for carpenter ant colonies. Regular inspections and preventive treatments are recommended, especially for properties with wood siding or tree contact points.

Initial treatment typically takes 1-3 hours depending on property size and infestation severity.
