If you treat for carpenter ants and you actually have termites, you could be wasting money on the carpenter ant treatment, all the while allowing the termites to continue doing their damage.

Of course, you should always have a qualified pest inspector fully inspect you home. But if you ever find yourself in the situation, use the chart below to help you determine if it is a termite or a carpenter ant. Questions? Contact me!
