Common Types of Ants in Vermont​
Carpenter Ants
Pavement Ant
Large black ants that cause serious structural damage by tunneling through wood. They often appear in spring and are known for leaving behind sawdust or rustling inside walls. We use a combination of baiting, drilling, and barrier treatments for long-term carpenter ant extermination.
Small, reddish-brown ants that build nests under sidewalks, driveways, and foundations. Known for sand-like mounds and invading kitchens in search of food.
Pharaoh Ants & Other Ants
Pharaoh ants are tiny yellow or light brown ants that prefer warm indoor environments. They’re known for spreading quickly and being difficult to eliminate with DIY treatments. We provide professional baiting strategies to eradicate entire colonies.

Frequently asked questions
Are carpenter ants common in Vermont?
Yes, black carpenter ants are the most common ant species in Vermont. They thrive in cold climates thanks to their unique ability to produce antifreeze-like chemicals.
What signs should I look out for to detect carpenter ants?
Signs of carpenter ant activity include sawdust piles, hollowed wood, rustling sounds from nests, alates (winged ants) emerging in the spring, and worker ants traveling along structural wood. If you observe trails of large black ants in or around your home, contact an exterminator for identification and control before major damage occurs.
Can ants damage my property?
Carpenter ants can cause structural damage to homes and buildings by tunneling through wood to create nests. If left untreated, a carpenter ant infestation can lead to costly repairs. Other ant species can contaminate food and surfaces.
How can I get rid of ants in my home?
The most effective way to eliminate ants from your home is to contact a professional pest control service. PestPro can assess the extent of the infestation and recommend appropriate treatment options, such as baiting or insecticide application.
Do I need a professional to remove carpenter ants?
While DIY methods exist, professional ant control is highly recommended. Carpenter ants can cause extensive structural damage. Professionals have the expertise and treatments to eliminate the entire colony, not just visible workers effectively.
How do the methods of baiting, drilling wall voids, and exterior applications differ in terms of effectiveness and application?
Baiting targets ants indirectly by allowing them to carry toxic bait back to their colony, making it effective for eliminating entire colonies. Drilling wall voids provides direct access to ant nests within walls or inaccessible areas, making it highly targeted and effective for localized infestations. Exterior applications create a barrier that prevents ants from entering the structure and can be a proactive measure to control ant populations before they become a problem indoors.
