Have you spotted large black ants or noticed tiny piles of sawdust around your baseboards? These signs may indicate a carpenter ant infestation, which can threaten the integrity of your home’s wooden structures. The most effective way to protect your property is with professional carpenter ant control.
Unlike typical ants that scavenge for food, carpenter ants tunnel through wood, causing structural damage over time. Don’t let these destructive pests settle in and weaken your home. Reach out to a trusted carpenter ant exterminator today to stop the problem before it worsens.
If carpenter ants are driving you crazy, your concern is completely justified. Take back control of your home or business, contact Heron Home And Outdoor for dependable carpenter ant control solutions in Orlando.
Carpenter Ants or Termites? How to Tell the Difference
Large black ants invading your space? They’re probably carpenter ants. While carpenter ants and termites both damage wood and can look somewhat alike, several key differences set them apart:
• Waist Shape: Carpenter ants have a slender, pinched waist; termites feature a broad, thick waist.
• Antennae: Carpenter ants’ antennae are bent or “elbowed,” while termites’ are straight.
• Wings: Ant wings are uneven in length (front wings longer than back); termite wings are equal in size.
• Feeding Habits: Termites consume wood, often leaving mud tubes behind; carpenter ants hollow out wood to build nests but don’t eat it.
• Signs: Carpenter ants leave sawdust-like piles called “frass”; termites create mud tubes along walls or foundations.

Our Proven Carpenter Ant Control Process
We understand how frustrating it is to deal with carpenter ants that keep coming back. That’s why we follow a thorough three-step approach to ensure lasting results:
- Inspection: We carefully examine your property for entry points, ant trails, and nests, especially hidden satellite colonies inside walls. Factors such as moisture and wood-to-soil contact are assessed to understand the full extent of the infestation.
- Treatment: Using targeted, effective methods tailored to carpenter ant biology, we eliminate ants at all life stages, focusing on eradicating the queen and halting further wood damage.
- Prevention: To keep carpenter ants from returning, we provide advice on sealing entry points, fixing moisture issues, and removing nearby vegetation that attracts ants, helping protect your home long term.
