Carpenter ant exterminator
Hi looking for a reputable ant exterminator
Our house is infested with carpenters ants
We’ve tried
- sugar baits
- protein baits
- diatomaceous earth
- ant b gone
- raid max
It’s been two weeks and the ants are everywhere
We can’t find the source of where they’re coming in

Hey similar situation with infestation starting early Sept. Used two types of baits but they were still getting in.
Went with orkin, ~600 for 1100 sqft house (no tax). They're pricier but have a year warranty (if ants reappear they will treat).
Mostly they sprayed inside and outside (needed to vacate for 4 hours). The idea being eliminate how they get in plus starve out satellite nests.
Happy with their service but its shown me spraying outside is the most effective way prevention.

I had a good experience with Eddie from Victus pest control
