Elite Carpenter Ant & Wood-Destroying Insect Management
“There is no area of pest control that requires wood and biology knowledge more than this field. Mistakes here almost always lead to the worst possible outcomes.”
Wood-destroying insects are the most mistreated and most misidentified insects in Wisconsin. Carpenter ants can forage over 100 yards and develop satellite colonies inside homes that are incredibly difficult to find. Similarly, wood-boring beetles may not even be active despite signs of an earlier infestation. There are many species of beetles in Wisconsin that require completely different wood types and moisture conditions to infest, and as wood seasons, it becomes impossible for certain beetles to reinfest.
Many retail products claim to treat carpenter ants and beetles, yet they give homeowners false hope. When these standard chemicals are used blindly, they actually make it very difficult to apply the correct treatment later. This leads to the worst possible outcomes: either the customer believes the infestation was eliminated when it was actually just forced to move deeper into the structure, or the customer pays for an expensive service that wasn’t even necessary.
Professional Identification Standards
The SafeHome Difference:
Our founding expert is a University of Wisconsin graduate who completed advanced entomology coursework at Purdue University and studied directly under Dr. Laurel Hansen at Washington State University—the world’s foremost authority on carpenter ant biology.
Because of this elite scientific standard, our affiliate company—which builds and renovates log homes—partnered with us because nobody knows how to treat and protect these structures better than we do. We understand both the biology of the insect and the structural dynamics of the wood from the foundations up.
