Signs You Have Carpenter Ants

Nova Scotia’s damp climate and wooded lots make carpenter ants one of our most common call. Unlike small pavement ants, carpenter ants excavate galleries in structural wood sills, joists, window frames to nest. Catching them early is the difference between a treatment and a renovation.
