Overview What is Forterra's carpenter ant control service?

On the ground in Aubrey

Tree lines, posts and outbuildings.

Around Aubrey there is more standing timber per property than anywhere else we work, and carpenter ants use it. Tree lines, fence posts, barn framing, stacked lumber and run-in sheds all offer wood that has taken water at some point, and on acreage a nest can be well established a long way from the house before anyone notices anything indoors.

That distance is the practical issue. Finding the nest is the job, and on a large property it may be in a structure nobody thinks of as part of the house. We will say which outbuildings are worth including rather than treating the home and hoping. The ants tunnel through wood instead of eating it, so sawdust below a hole is the sign worth acting on.

"I can’t say enough great things about Mason! From the moment he arrived, he was professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. He took the time to explain everything he was doing, answered all my questions, and made sure I felt comfortable with the process. He went above and beyond to ensure every concern was addressed, and his attention to detail was outstanding. You can tell he genuinely cares about his work and his customers. Highly recommend, if you need pest control done right, ask for Mason!"

Why the moisture matters

Find the moisture, find the colony.

The distance is the practical problem out here. Finding the nest is the job, and on a large property it may be in a structure nobody thinks of as part of the house.

Stage 01
01

Trace moisture

Wet wood is the map. We follow it.

Carpenter ants favor wood softened by moisture, leaky window headers, deck connections, roof eaves, bath traps. The inspection follows the moisture map, because that is where the galleries are.

Stage 02
02

Treat network

Parent colony, satellite nests, one connected treatment.

A carpenter ant infestation is a network. A parent colony, often outdoors in a stump or fence, plus satellite nests inside the structure. Targeted non-repellent treatment reaches the galleries and moves colony to colony. Killing foragers alone changes nothing.

Stage 03
03

Fix conditions

The moisture fixes are the prevention plan, in writing.

You get a written list of the moisture conditions we found, gutter overflows, grade-level wood contact, plumbing weeps, because treated wood that stays wet eventually invites the next colony.

Your structure, up close

Moisture-softened wood is the map. Here it is.

Sawdust under a barn rafter, a fence post soft at ground level, and stacked lumber that has been sitting on soil since last year.

1 2 3 4 5 6
Elevation view; numbers mark the moisture and excavation points.
  1. 01

    Eaves and soffits

    Overflowing gutters soak the soffit; softened framing here is prime satellite-nest wood.

  2. 02

    Fascia and gutter line

    The first wood wet in every storm, and the most common frass point we find.

  3. 03

    Window frames

    Failed caulk lets water into sills and headers; rustling here at night is diagnostic.

  4. 04

    Weep holes and brick base

    Foraging routes in and out of wall voids follow the brick line's openings.

  5. 05

    Deck connections

    The ledger board and rail posts stay damp against the house, classic parent-colony territory.

  6. 06

    Porch posts

    Ground-contact posts wick moisture year-round; probing them is part of every inspection.

The carpenter ant job

Forterra's carpenter ant process, step by step.

We locate the nest, say which outbuildings belong in the treatment, and deal with the timber that is holding water. Treating the house alone is not a plan on acreage.

  1. 01

    Transparent quote

    Start with the number. The online tool prices carpenter ant work in about a minute, and the phone team matches it. Structural jobs that need gallery work are scoped before the first visit, in writing.

    Online or by phone
  2. 02

    First-visit inspection

    The structure, attic, deck connections, stumps and fences are examined to confirm carpenter ants rather than termites, and to map both the nests and the moisture feeding them.

    Part of the initial service
  3. 03

    Treat the network

    Gallery injections and non-repellent perimeter work that reaches the parent colony and every satellite, not just the ants you see.

    Most homes, one visit
  4. 04

    Guaranteed results

    Renewed activity between visits is treated again at no cost. Structural work is warranted in writing, with the money-back guarantee backing the service itself.

Frequently asked

Questions in Aubrey, answered plainly.

If you don't see yours, call (817) 670-2835 or text us, a human will answer.

Sawdust and tunnelled wood are carpenter ants; mud tubes and eaten wood are termites. Around Aubrey both turn up in barn framing, fence posts and stacked lumber, so we identify from the damage rather than from a phone description.

Not like termites do, but on a property with timber outbuildings it adds up. They nest in wood that is already damp, so the barn frame or run-in that has been taking weather for years is where it matters rather than a newer house.

Those are workers foraging after dark, and the nest is nearby. On acreage nearby can still mean the barn or a fence line rather than the house, which is why we walk the structures rather than concentrating on the kitchen.

Rarely well. Carpenter ants are fussy about bait, and on a property with several timber structures there are too many alternatives. The wood holding water is the real issue, and no bait addresses that.

It follows the nest and how many structures are involved. One colony in an accessible barn rafter is short work. Several across outbuildings is a different job, and we will say which structures are worth including before quoting.
