How to detect an infestation of carpenter ants?
Carpenter ants are often difficult to spot with the naked eye, especially when they’ve established a colony inside walls or wooden structures. Here are the most common signs of an active infestation:
- Presence of small pile of fine sawdust (often near baseboards or window frames)
- Large black ants seen indoors, especially at night
- Light sounds in walls (scratching or cracking)
- Wood appears weakened, unusual dampness near foundations
To learn more about how these pests build their nests, consult this educational guide from Espace pour la vie.
If you notice one or more of these signs, it is strongly recommended to have your property inspected by a professional before the damage becomes structural.
Our extermination method: inspection, targeted treatment and prevention
Our approach is based on a rigorous three-step protocol designed to effectively eliminate carpenter ant colony and prevent their return:
- Targeted inspection Our technicians identify entry points, risk areas and the potential presence of secondary nests.
- Professional treatment we apply a registered insecticide (gel, powder or liquid), specifically formulated for carpenter ants, in accordance with the standards of Health Canada.
- Personalized prevention concrete recommendations for sealing inlets, correcting moisture sources and preventing future reinfestation.
Each treatment is tailored to your situation - single-family home, multiplex or commercial premises - with follow-up if necessary. Our products are safe for children and pets when applied correctly.
Risks for your home: damage, humidity and hidden colonies
Carpenter ants don’t just invade your space — they tunnel through wood, weakening load-bearing structures like beams, floors, and window frames.
- Significant structural damage, costly to repair
- Persistent moisture that promotes their spread
- Hidden nests that are difficult to locate without specialized tools
A well-established colony can contain several thousand individuals. The longer the intervention is delayed, the worse the damage becomes — and so does the treatment cost.

How much does a carpenter ant treatment cost?
The cost of carpenter ant extermination depends on several factors: the extent of the infestation, the location of the nest, the type of building, and the preventive measures required.
In general, here are the price ranges observed:
- Standard inspection and treatment between 250 $ and 450 $
- Complex treatment (multiple nests or difficult access): up to 650 $
All our treatments are carried out by certified technicians using professional-grade products approved by Health Canada. Travel fees are waived in most cases.
