Q: Do carpenter ants eat wood?

• <div><p>Carpenter ants don&rsquo;t eat wood. It&rsquo;s a common misconception because many kinds of termites eat wood as well as live inside it. Carpenter ants, however, are omnivores and only chew into wood to create pathways and nests, discarding the chewed wood as frass which is a major indicator of a carpenter ant problem. They prefer to eat smaller insects, sweet things like spilled honey, and sources of protein like pet food.</p></div>

Q: What draws bed bugs out of hiding?

"I was very pleased with the serviceman who came to my house. They were prompt, friendly and thoroughly explained what needed to be done. He was clean and went the extra steps to investigate my problem and make suggestions for how I could continue to prevent problems (showed me how the mice were entering the house and how to fill the hole). I am very pleased with the results! He even took care of pests that I didn't know I had. The elimination of spiders was a true bonus!"
