Carpenter ant in tree in East Brunswick, NJ
Because these ants were uncomfortably close to the perimeter of the home, I decided to be proactive and treat the infestation now. I first treated the base of the tree and the problem areas with a residual liquid application. Next, I followed up with an ant gel bait that I placed in all of the openings and cracks using a crack and crevice method. Finally, to further reduce the ant population, I applied ant bait to the soil areas around the circumference of the entire tree.

After completing the treatment, I spoke with the customer and explained the steps taken to eliminate the carpenter ant activity near her home. I set up a two week follow-up appointment to inspect and monitor the activity levels.The customer was pleased with the service and the treatment. I look forward to returning in two weeks to see the results. Carpenter ants, while not as damaging to property as termites, are still destructive wood-destroying insects. It is important to treat them at the first sign of trouble since their populations will only grow.
