Though there are several insect species to be aware of in the pacific northwest area, it is especially important to prevent carpenter ants due to their ability to cause major structural damage.
Carpenter ants don't get a lot of publicity until they wreak havoc on structures. A larger ant variety, carpenter ants build nests in wood or insulation. Since they are attracted to moisture, it is common to see them in homes with existing water damage.
The best way to protect your structure from these pests is to have a preventative treatment applied around the perimeter of your home. Renew's carpenter ant prevention treatment, applied yearly in the spring, protects the exterior of your home for the entire season.
