Carpenter Ant Extermination

At Integral XT, we are a team of professional certified exterminators determined to eliminate your carpenter ant infestation.

We understand the fear and panic that this creates when we discover an infestation inside a residential house or a commercial building. Carpenter ants are harmful to your property and your health, which is why they must be eliminated.

At IntegrealXT we know the habits of carpenter ants. Our team of experts offer you the most applicable and practical solutions using the safest methods to protect your family or business. Our products are certified by Health Canada, and we are licensed by Environnment Québec.

Don’t confuse them with termites since carpenter ants do not eat wood, but tunnel instead through the wood in buildings to make nests. They can be difficult to pinpoint and require professional extermination treatment as they cause damage to the wood structure and foam insulation in your property.

The signs are:

• Noise-if you hear a crunching sound in the walls or ceiling. Nests are built inside wood beams.
• Sawdust-when nests become established the carpenter ants leave trails of sawdust.
• Winged Carpenter Ants (swarmers)emerging from around vents, window casings and baseboards. Typical season for this is spring or summer. If there are more than 20, this can indicate the presence of a large colony.
• Damaged Wood-carpenter ants nest inside wood, thus creating ‘galleries’ of tunnels and open spaces.

1. Empty all bottom cupboards or closets where ants have been seen, especially if it’s in the kitchen.
2. If ants have been seen in the bathroom, then the vanity needs to be emptied.
3. Food and Dishes need to be put away.

Although these insects may seem harmless, the reality may differ significantly with a closer look. Trying to eliminate an infestation on ones own has many risks. You may be able to kill carpenter ants, does not mean you will be successful at removing an infestation completely. Ant interventions should always begin with an inspection by a professional. At IntegralXT, we offer a free consultation / inspection.

With our free inspection service, we can:

• Identify the ant species
• Determine the location of the nest
• Propose solutions to your specific problem.

If you have an ant infestation in Montreal or the surrounding areas, it’s important and recommended to contact a professional exterminator.
