Many New Jersey and Philadelphia homeowners may not realize that ants can cause property damage similar to damage caused by termites. Carpenter ants can also cause significant damage to wood structures over time. Carpenter ants cause damage by creating nests in hollow areas and in wood that is moist from decay. Ants dont eat the wood, instead, they tunnel through it. Since the majority of damage is hidden from view usually inside walls and near window, door frames, around decks, porches and other wood surfaces, many homeowners are completely unaware of an infestation.

However, if you notice an infestation, it would be a good idea to call Affordable Pest Solutions since by the time you actually see an ant they have already moved in to your property and brought along all their family members. Without any proper ant treatment, your New Jersey residential or commercial property may become the source of stress and anxiety created by annoying and intrusive pests in your home or business.

Having ants in or around your business  will definitely seem alarming to customers since ants like to get into food or into items where they can travel with you. Let’s not forget that red ants actually bite which  causes painful irritation due to venom transmission. Their mere presence can have a negative effect on your business since some other pests actually prefer ants as a food source.
