This was an unexpected and unpleasant surprise, and took me a week this summer to fix.

  • we have these little buggers in our upstairs and bathrooms, and a few downstairs.

    I dont know where their coming from!

    and i dont how they get to the upstairs either.

    we're calling an exterminator tomorrow hopefully he can fix this

  • Good luck! If you get a good exterminator, they'll give you a year's guarantee. We had to call ours back again this spring, no charge fortunately.

  • where are u from and were has it happend

  • I'm from Ontario, Canada and it happened in my workshop

  • why did it take you so long to discover this problem

  • Hi, jargenlink

    I wasn't aware there was a problem. Water was leaking underneath the window and into the wall. This wet the wood behind the siding, but I couldn't see it. Once wood is soft like this, it's apparently ideal for carpenter ants. I only discovered them because I leaned on the wall and noticed it was soft. It gave a bit under my hand, where the two by sixes were supposed to be.

  • i have them in my backyard tree in ontario canada :P

  • Your problem with the wood was dry rot, not from the ants. FYI

  • thats very smart to use your hands :D

  • @GeraldBoyClassical Thats where I'm from. But from Windsor.

  • OH jeez.... I hope this isn't what's going on with my house. My parents also had thousands of dollars of repairs after carpenter ants chewed up half their attic.
