Carpenter ant extermination in Cantley


You want to have carpenter ants exterminated in Cantley? EXTERMINATEUR GATINEAU carries out the residential and commercial extermination of these insects, which reproduce very quickly and chew on the wood of house and business frame bearing structures. Whether the nests are located outside (main nest) or inside (satellite nests), we will find them and make sure to exterminate carpenter ants and their breeding queens.

As a member of the AQGP (Association québécoise de la gestion parasitaire) group, our extermination company is legally authorized to carry out the extermination of carpenter ants. Our trained and certified exterminators use the methods recommended by the Québec Ministère de l’Environnement. The insecticides we use are specifically approved for the extermination of carpenter ants.

Carpenter ants: shape and habits

Carpenter ants are black or dark brown in colour. Measuring between 6mm and 25 mm (.24 to 1 inch), the ant’s body is divided into three parts. The workers live about 1 year and the queens can live up to 17 years! Settling in a dead tree, a wet barn or a decaying stump, the queen can lay several thousand eggs in 2 or 3 years. At the end of the summer, the queen will lay winged insects that will mate and form satellite nests in homes and businesses, each with their own laying queen. If you observe any winged carpenter ants in or around your home, it may be an indication that a nest exists either in your home or possibly in a nearby tree.

These nests will be found in the wood of structural beams, in damp areas (old offices, hollow doors, basements, attics, etc.) and several nests can be found in a single house. As carpenter ants reproduce very quickly, it is necessary to have the extermination of carpenter ants carried out by professionals as soon as you see some of them.

Products used for the extermination of carpenter ants

To carry out a professional and safe extermination of carpenter ants, we use products licensed and approved by Health Canada. More powerful than insecticides sold in shops, these products help to eradicate the problem quickly. The type of insecticide used will be chosen according to your specific situation (severity of infestation, nest location, presence of young children or pets in the house, etc.).

After the extermination of carpenter ants indoors, we can spray an insecticide product on the outside perimeter of your home or business. This will prevent more carpenter ants from entering again. If a mother colony is on your property, we will make sure that it is completely exterminated so that it does not migrate to the house.

For a carpenter ant extermination in Cantley, choose to do business with certified professionals. The result will be fast and complete.
