Why You Need A Professional for Carpenter Ants In Camas
You need to know what you’re up against Carpenter ants often get confused for termites. And though they are indeed similar, the type of damage they cause is different, and the approach to treatment is also tailored to the type of insect you’re dealing with. Full grown carpenter ants, which are black in color and sometimes have red or yellow accents, can sometimes grow up to one-half inch in length, placing them on the larger end of the North American ant spectrum.
