Carpenter ants are large, black/reddish ants that are about 1/2 inch long.
Our carpenter ant control service includes a thorough inspection of your property to find all of the carpenter ant nests. There are 2 types of Carpenter Ant in Florida.
Florida carpenter ant (Camponotus floridanus):
This is the most common carpenter ant in Florida. It is a large ant, about 1/2 inch long, with a black body and orange legs. Florida carpenter ants typically nest in moist wood, such as rotting stumps or firewood. They can also nest in homes, especially in areas that have water damage.
Tortugas carpenter ant (Camponotus tortuganus):
This ant is found in the central and southern parts of Florida. It is smaller than the Florida carpenter ant, about 3/8 inch long, and it has a black body with red legs. Tortugas carpenter ants typically nest in dead trees and logs.

FAQ’s
How can I tell the difference between a swarming Carpenter Ant and a Termite?
Carpenter Ants have a small waist while termites have a thicker mid-section.
When do Carpenter Ants swarm in Brevard and Indian River Counties?
Carpenter ants swarm on the Space and Treasure Coasts during the spring and summer months, usually from April to June. The swarming season can vary depending on the weather, but it typically peaks during the wet season. Right after rain showers.
Carpenter ant swarms are most common in the early morning or evening hours. The winged ants, known as alates, emerge from their nests and fly in search of a new home. They are attracted to light, so they may be seen near windows or doors.
How do carpenter ants damage wood?
Carpenter ants do not eat wood like termites. Instead, they excavate wood to create tunnels and galleries for their nests. They do this by chewing through the wood with their powerful jaws. The tunnels and galleries they create can weaken the structure of the wood and make it more likely to collapse.
Carpenter ants typically target moist wood, such as wood that has been damaged by water or is located in a humid environment. They are also attracted to wood that is soft or decayed.
How long is the Carpenter Ant free Guarantee?
90 days
What do carpenter ants eat?
Carpenter ants are omnivores. They typically eat sweets, plants, and proteins.

Do you treat other kinds of ants?
What will keep Carpenter Ants away from my house?
This is a tuff question because a nest of Carpenter Ants can show up in ridiculous places (refrigerators, under plungers in a bathroom, in a car, or in-between a window and screen) seemingly at random. A regular pest control program should prevent many of these invasions but sometimes it’s the cost we must pay for living in paradise. Avoid having plants & trees touch your house. Keep firewood stored away from your house. Have the stumps removed when you have any trees cut down.
There are Carpenter Ants with wings in my pool and walking all over the outside of my house. Is there any way to stop this?
Carpenter Ant swarms occur naturally, there is nothing that you can do to stop it. By keeping outside lights off you can lessen the amount of ants that are attracted to your home.
