With at least 700 different species of ants in just the United States, controlling them can be quite difficult and pretty tricky, especially if they aren't your specialty. Ants can enter through the tiniest of cracks and are seeking water and sweet or protein based food substances. They leave an invisible chemical trail containing pheromones so that other ants can follow and locate the food source. And they can nest just about anywhere and everywhere, in and around your house. An ant nest between the insulation and flooring in a crawlspace is one common spot, they also will nest in walls, lawns, stumps, and even under the homes' foundation just to name a few.

Common areas to see carpenter ants are door thresholds, window sills, etc.
