In northwest Michigan we don’t usually deal with termites, we have carpenter ants! They look for water damaged or rotting wood in and around your home to make their nest. As the snow melts the wood around slider doors is a very common area to find carpenter ants. Toilets leaking or sweating can damage wood and be a perfect nest for carpenter ants. Roof leaks and attics are another prime spot for carpenter ants. We also recommend if you live in a log home that a seasonal foundation spray with our premier Ant treatment product to help deter any carpenter ants looking to nest in the walls of your home.
