Carpenter ants are one of the most destructive ant species found in Menasha and throughout the Fox Valley. Unlike typical nuisance ants, carpenter ants donโt just invade kitchens โ they tunnel through wood to build nests, which can lead to structural damage if left untreated. Homeowners often mistake carpenter ants for regular ants, delaying proper treatment while the colony continues to expand inside walls, attics, or damp wood areas.
Professional carpenter ant extermination and control from Slayer Pest Control targets these ants at their source. Our team identifies nesting sites, eliminates active colonies, and helps prevent future infestations using proven treatment strategies designed for Wisconsin homes. If youโre seeing large black ants, ant activity near wood, or unexplained sawdust-like debris, contact Slayer Pest Control for expert carpenter pest ant control in Menasha, Appleton, Neenah, and the surrounding Fox Valley.

Carpenter ants are large ants โ often black or dark brown โ that excavate wood to create nesting galleries. While they do not eat wood like termites, they hollow it out, which can weaken structural components over time. Carpenter ants are especially common in:
They are frequently found nesting in wall voids, crawl spaces, attics, window frames, rooflines, and damp or decaying wood.
You may have a carpenter ant problem if you notice:
Because carpenter ant nests are often hidden, professional inspection is critical to fully assess the extent of the infestation.
DIY ant sprays and bait stations may kill visible ants, but they rarely eliminate the main carpenter ant colony. These ants often maintain multiple satellite nests, making them difficult to control without proper identification and treatment.
Professional carpenter ant extermination focuses on:
Slayer Pest Control uses targeted treatment methods designed to stop carpenter ants long-term โ not just temporarily reduce activity.
At Slayer Pest Control, we follow a detailed, step-by-step approach for effective carpenter ant control:

We apply treatments around the exterior and vulnerable areas of your home to prevent future carpenter ant entry and nesting.
Our technicians provide guidance on moisture control, wood maintenance, and conditions that attract carpenter ants. Follow-up services are available if needed.
In addition to professional treatment, homeowners can reduce carpenter ant pressure by:
โ Repairing roof leaks and plumbing issues
