Carpenter Ants

Carpenter ants are the most commonly encountered wood destroying insects in the Northwest. They are responsible for damage to thousands of homes each year. The damage can be limited to a fence post or it can be extensive, costing tens of thousands of dollars to repair one house. Therefore, it is important to protect homes and other structures from these destructive pests and Cascade can help you.

For these reasons it's good to know a little about carpenter ants in order to understand the control strategy:

  • Damage - It's good to know what carpenter ants can do. Here are some examples of carpenter ant damage.
  • What to Look for Around your Home - Damage is almost always concealed and carpenter ants rarely enter the living space of a home so you need to know what to look for.
  • Carpenter Ant Control - Since carpenter ants cause so much damage and since virtually every home in the northwest will sooner or later encounter carpenter ants, prevention is paramount.
