Ant exterminator in Montreal
Carpenter, pavement and pharaoh ants: we find the colony and treat it at the source.
Not all ants are treated the same way. The carpenter ant, large and black, digs its galleries in damp wood: it doesn't eat wood, but it can damage it. The pavement ant nests under slabs and foundations. The pharaoh ant, tiny and yellowish, settles in heated buildings.
Killing visible ants solves nothing as long as the colony and its queen stay active. We identify the species, follow the trails to the nest and choose the right treatment.
Signs to watch for
Large black ants inside the house in spring
Small piles of sawdust near window frames, beams or porches
