Carpenter Ant Control in San Diego, CA
Carpenter ants are one of the most destructive pests in San Diego. Unlike termites, they don't eat wood, they tunnel through it to build galleries for their nests. Over time, this can cause serious structural damage to framing, fascia boards, window frames, and decking. Carpenter ants are large, often black or red-and-black, and are frequently seen foraging at night. Most infestations originate outdoors in dead trees, stumps, or wood in contact with soil before the satellite colony moves indoors.

Carpenter Ant Control FAQ
They cause different but serious damage. Termites eat wood; carpenter ants hollow it out for nesting. Both require professional treatment and can cause costly structural damage if left untreated.
Over-the-counter sprays kill foragers but rarely reach the nest. Professional treatment using dust injected into galleries is the most effective approach.
Moisture-damaged wood is the primary attractant. Fix leaks, replace rotted wood, and eliminate wood-to-soil contact to reduce risk.
Elimination typically takes 1–3 weeks after treatment, depending on colony size. A follow-up inspection confirms the nest has been eliminated.
