This is termite swarm season. Winged termites can suddenly appear inside your home. You will often find them on window sills and near other light sources. While they look like flying ants, they are most likely termites here in the Sacramento area. Call us immediately to schedule a free inspection to be sure. Save a sample insect in a plastic baggie. Spray the rest with Raid or some other household pesticide. It won't kill the termite colony but it will slow them down until we can treat your home with Termidor, the most effective guaranteed termite treatment.

Carpenter ant control can be very difficult and thus, requires an integrated approach which involves moisture elimination, removing overhanging tree limbs, stumps, and firewood, and mechanical alterations to prevent entry. It is important to locate the source of the ants, i.e., the nest and satellite nests. Areas where water leaks occur, particularly the roof, soffits, bathroom, and kitchen should be inspected. The most complete control is accomplished when the nests are treated with a residual spray or dust. This may involve drilling holes in hollow doors, wall voids, ceiling voids, etc. which these ants exploit for nesting sites. In some situations, it maybe useful to drill infested wood and apply a dust or liquid formulation directly into the galleries.

Infestations can be reduced but not eliminated by treating the trails used by foraging workers. Infestations that originate outdoors can be reduced by the application of barrier treatments using microencapsualted or wettable powder formulations.
