    Termites & Wood Destroying

    Carpenter Ant Control

    Find the parent colony and the satellite, not just the ants you see.

    Carpenter ants don't eat wood like termites, they excavate it to nest, and the damage adds up. Real carpenter ant treatment finds the parent colony (usually outdoors) and the satellite colony (indoors), then treats both.

    Signs you have a problem

    • Large black or red-and-black ants indoors, especially at night
    • Sawdust-like piles (frass) below trim or beams
    • Faint rustling sounds inside walls
    • Winged ants (swarmers) in spring

    How Hydra treats it

    Inspection to locate parent and satellite colonies.

    Non-repellent residual + targeted bait at colony locations.

    Moisture and conducive-condition recommendations.

    How it works

    • Free inspection
    • Up-front quote
    • Follow-up to confirm elimination
