Learn How To Protect Your Portland, ME Property From Carpenter Ants

Carpenter ants, despite the name, are not helpful ants that wear tiny tool belts and make small repairs around your home. In fact, they are responsible for quite the opposite. Carpenter ants are a destructive species of ant that invade homes and other buildings while foraging for food sources. Once inside, they are attracted to structural wood (especially if it has been previously damaged by water) and tunnel through it, creating satellite nesting galleries. If not eliminated, the damage that carpenter ants can cause can become quite significant. To help prevent carpenter ants from being attracted to your Portland property and getting into your home, we want to offer some helpful prevention tips:

  • All outdoor trashcans should have tight-fitting lids on them.

  • Compost bins, wood piles, and garden areas should be placed a distance away from the outside of your home.

  • A stone barrier between your home’s foundation and any mulch should be created.

  • Pick up uneaten pet food between feedings.

  • Seal any cracks found in your home’s foundation or exterior walls.

  • Place weather stripping around all exterior windows and doors.

  • Repair any holes or tears in window and door screens.

  • Put into place a professional carpenter ant control service.

Big Blue Bug Solutions can help keep your Portland home free of damaging carpenter ants through our highly effective carpenter ant solutions. To learn more about ridding your home of carpenter ants and keeping them from returning, give us a call today.
