Removing Rotting Wood for Carpenter Ants

One way to handle wood ants that are climbing on to your home is to do renovations. Carpenter and acrobat ants typically get into water-damaged and already rotting wood so simply removing that wood can sometimes be enough to get rid of any nests they’ve made.

If you have renovation projects you plant to start or already started, then getting rid of that wood is probably the best first step before you do any pest control services.

The desired end result of a pest control service is of course that the pests are gone.

So removing the entirety of where that pest is located is and disposing of it is a very thorough way to do that!

But if you aren’t in the middle of renovating or don’t plan to renovate, treatment for these wood ants is the best option.

Using non-repellent pest control sprays allows the targeted ants to continue to walk through the area. We also may apply a bait product that they will take back with them to their nests.

If you’re seeing wood ants around older or damaged areas of your home there are options.

We specialize in long-lasting treatments using products in a way that effectively kills bugs but has no impact on people. No contracts are needed. We treat more than once a year about as often as we skip years between treatments.

Aztec’s philosophy is to provide the most effective pest control service available, having the least negative impact on people and the environment here in Austin, Texas. We use a combination of the least toxic and most effective pest control products available.

We originally offered pest control using only natural, “organic” pest control products. While we still offer that service, we now combine those products with a low-toxicity, odorless, synthetic pyrethrin (crushed chrysanthemum flower), offering a longer-lasting residual effect.
