Carpenter ant/bee nest removal
Answer from pro:
I had to visit the home a few times in the evening hours to finally see the ant movements and locate the nest. Turns out the home was being invaded on all sides by one particular nest at the base of a large maple tree. I used termite rods to treat the nest all along the base and the garage studs. Saturated with a chemical pheromone used by the carpenter ants themselves all the wood was treated as a precautionary measure. Remember, ant pheromones are so persistent they can linger on for years through rain, sleet, snow and ice. Removal of these pheromones is necessary or else carpenter ants simply re-follow these trails at a later date.I am glad that it all worked out.Joe
