Common Pest Profiles

Carpenter Ants

Carpenter ants excavate wood in order to build their nests, hence the name “carpenter”. They usually invade wet, moldy or damaged wood first. But often continue into dry, undamaged wood. Carpenter ants range in size from one-quarter inch to up to an inch

They can enter your home through small cracks around windows, doors, or wire holes. They build their nests outdoors in various wood sources, including tree stumps, firewood or landscaping. They need a constant water source to survive. They will often enter homes

Pavement Ants

Pavement ants are dark brown or black ants that can be found nesting in sidewalks and driveways, or under items lying on the ground such as patio stone, logs, bricks or boards.
They often leave a telltale mound of soil amidst the pavement from digging their nests.
They are 1/10 to 1/8 inch long and travel in trails up to 30 feet long to and from their food source.
