Residential Ant Control

Why Do I Suddenly Have Carpenter Ants in My House?

Carpenter ants don’t show up by accident. They’re typically driven indoors by environmental triggers—especially moisture. Here’s what may be drawing carpenter ants into your home:


  • Moisture & Leaks: Carpenter ants are attracted to damp, rotting, or water-damaged wood.
  • Poor Ventilation: High indoor humidity provides ideal nesting conditions.
  • Cracks or Gaps: Small openings in siding, around windows, or foundations let them in.
  • Food Sources: Leftover crumbs, pet food, or sugary substances can lure them.


If you're seeing them inside, there's likely a nest nearby—or inside. Pied Piper Pest Control will locate the source and stop the spread before costly damage sets in.

What is the Fastest Way to Get Rid of Carpenter Ants?

The fastest and most effective way to eliminate carpenter ants is to identify and destroy the nest, not just treat visible ants. At Pied Piper Pest Control, we use advanced techniques to locate hidden colonies—whether they’re in your walls, floors, attic, or yard.


We then apply professional-grade insecticides and bait systems that are far more powerful than anything available at retail. Combined with our moisture-control strategies, we eliminate current ants and prevent future infestations, giving you long-term protection and fast relief—often within 24 hours.

Should I Be Worried if I Found a Carpenter Ant?

Yes—because where there’s one, there are usually hundreds more hiding out of sight.


Carpenter ants don’t eat wood, but they chew through it to build nests, weakening your home’s framework over time. Ignoring them can lead to:


  • Structural damage that can cost thousands in repairs
  • Spread to other parts of your home or even neighboring structures
  • Increased moisture damage as they exploit damp wood


Don’t wait for the damage to pile up. Call Pied Piper today for same-day service and protect your home’s integrity now.


How Do You Tell if It's a Carpenter Ant?

Not all ants are created equal—especially when it comes to the damage they cause. Here's how to recognize carpenter ants:

  • Size

    3/8” to 1/2” long (much larger than typical ants)

  • Color

    Solid black or red and black

  • Shape

    Narrow waist with one node and a smooth, evenly rounded thorax

  • Behavior

    Often spotted trailing along baseboards or near water sources

Still unsure? Our trained exterminators will inspect and correctly identify the pests you're dealing with—and get to work immediately.
