Every year in the spring we have carpenter ants appear in our house. Twice (on 2 different years) we have had Aetna come out to treat the problem and it never resolved the issue and the ants were getting bigger every year! I'm not sure if it was Aetna since we had our roof replaced last Fall which may have somehow helped, but this is the first spring since living in this house that we didn't have the ants reappear. We did see just 1 but are hoping that was just a fluke. We'll be calling them to see if there are preventative strategies we can implement moving forward.

Hello Heidi,
In residential areas carpenter ants can be found nesting in various areas outside the home. Some of the areas they could be found nesting on are, trees, dead stumps, fence railings, wood retaining walls. Carpenter ants can enter the home from shrubbery touching the home, electrical or telephone wires entering the home, holes in the foundation of the home. At Aetna, our technicians, using information from the customer, attempt to locate any nests inside and outside the home for treatments. Due to the foraging nature of carpenter ants, strategies to control carpenter ants from re-infesting homes are available by calling Aetna Pest Control.
