Signs You May Have an Ant Infestation
Trailing Ants in the Kitchen or Bathroom
Ants leave pheromone trails for others to follow. Seeing a line of ants means a colony has discovered a food or water source in your home.
Wood Shavings (Frass)
If you see small piles of wood shavings, you may have carpenter ants hollowing out the wood in your walls or decks to build nests.
Rustling Noises Inside Walls
Large carpenter ant colonies can sometimes be heard rustling inside wall voids, particularly at night.
Local Ant Considerations
In East Hampton, NY, the moist coastal environment and abundance of trees make properties highly susceptible to carpenter ants. These pests do not eat wood like termites, but they excavate it, which can cause severe structural damage over time to both year-round and seasonal properties.
How Professional Ant Control Works
Comprehensive Inspection
We trace ant trails back to their source to locate the main colony and any satellite nests on your property.
Targeted Treatments
We use a combination of non-repellent liquid applications and professional-grade baits that worker ants carry back to the nest, effectively eliminating the queen and the entire colony.
Ant Prevention for Your Property
Trimming branches away from your roofline, sealing cracks in your foundation, and addressing moisture issues like leaky pipes are critical steps in keeping your East Hampton home ant-free.
