Ant infestation is one of the most common pest problems in Northeast Ohio, with most getting into homes and businesses through cracks around windows or doors because they are looking for moisture and a food source. There are many varieties of ants in the Akron, Canton, and Cleveland communities, but the most prevalent is the carpenter ant.

Carpenter ants are 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch long and usually black. They nest inside dead and damp wood and will frequently infest wooden buildings and structures, causing serious structural damage and sometimes leaving behind sawdust-like material that clues you into their nesting location. Because of their attraction to wood, shrubs and tree limbs resting on or against your home or roof will give them easy access through gaps in eaves and window frames.

Carpenter ants are destructive and should be addressed before infestation becomes extensive. At Bug Bounty Hunters, we treat wood structures, landscaping edging and mulched areas around your home to eradicate carpenter ants quickly.
