Carpenter ants are significantly larger than common household ants, typically measuring 1/4 to 1/2 inch long, and are usually black or dark brown. Unlike termites, carpenter ants don't eat wood but excavate it to create nesting galleries, leaving behind piles of sawdust-like wood shavings called frass. You may also hear faint rustling sounds inside walls or see large winged ants (swarmers) in spring, which indicate an established colony in or near your home.

We understand that carpenter ants pose a threat to your property's structural integrity, which is why we offer same-day or next-day service for most Maspeth locations. Our technicians are familiar with the Queens area and can typically schedule an inspection within 24 hours of your call. Emergency services are also available for severe infestations that require immediate attention.

While some minor infestations can be resolved with a single treatment, most carpenter ant problems in Maspeth require 2-3 follow-up visits to ensure complete colony elimination. Carpenter ants often have satellite colonies in addition to the main nest, and it takes time for worker ants to carry treatments back to the queen. We include follow-up inspections in our service plans to guarantee long-term results and offer warranty protection for your peace of mind.
