A Seattle homeowner became agitated and annoyed after realizing the dive bombing was being done by Carpenter Ants. The wife was fit to be tied. The homeowner wanted to get a positive identification of the annoying pests. A call was made to AMPM Exterminators and an emailed photo sent it was confirmed. A pest control service for Carpenter Ants was set up immediately for AMPM Exterminators to eliminate.

But may also be found in walls, ceilings and below outdoor siding. Other areas would be in wood piles by foundations, near downspouts, gutters, within floors and in insulation.
