I have a huge phobia against bugs. When carpenter ants decided they'd like to come inside, I sent my husband to the task to find an exterminator since our own at home attempts to manage the issue just weren't working. We tried Terro traps and ortho home defense and these little carpenter ant weren't taking no for an answer.
My husband found RCD Exterminating and I appreciated how thorough they were. They also explained the life cycle of carpenter ants and were the most descriptive of all the companies we quoted. The day they came they sprayed around the whole house, every door, every window. Placed bait outside our whole house and the tree in our front yard that they decided to hang out in. Inside they sprayed the sill in our basement and opened every accessible outlet to put magic poison dust. Its been a few weeks now and the day after the treatment the carpenter ants issue stopped.
Now I can sit on my couch without risk of a carpenter deciding to sit on my lap. Worth every penny. read more
