VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As spring approaches, homeowners across Canada may begin noticing increased ant activity in and around their homes. While many ants are harmless, experts warn that carpenter ants are one pest that should never be ignored.

Often mistaken for common household ants, carpenter ants can indicate hidden moisture issues or wood damage. In regions across the country – where fluctuating temperatures, humidity, and aging housing stock are common – infestations can go unnoticed until significant structural damage has already occurred.

According to Orkin Canada, the country’s leading pest control provider, homeowners can reduce the risk of carpenter ant infestations by:

  • Eliminating moisture sources: Fix leaks in roofs, basements and plumbing, as carpenter ants are drawn to damp or decaying wood.
  • Sealing entry points: Repair cracks and gaps around doors, windows and foundations to limit access.
  • Clearing wood debris: Store firewood, lumber and decaying wood away from the home’s exterior.
  • Trimming vegetation: Keep trees and shrubs from touching the house, which can act as a bridge indoors.
  • Watching for warning signs: Wood shavings, winged ants or faint rustling sounds inside walls can all indicate carpenter ant activity.
