A trail of ants across the kitchen, small piles of sawdust near the woodwork? In Le Plateau-Mont-Royal, an iconic neighbourhood of row triplexes and outdoor staircases, ants — including carpenter ants that tunnel into wood — come looking for food and moisture as soon as it warms up. Axion locates the nest, treats the colony at its source and guarantees the result in writing. Service within 24h, from $99.
A few stray ants in summer is normal. But a steady trail, crumbling wood or winged ants indoors point to an established nest that has to be treated at its source.
A spray kills the workers you see, but the queen and nest stay intact: the colony rebuilds within weeks. Worse, some sprays cause the colony to 'bud' into several satellite nests. And carpenter ants tunnel into structural wood — a delay gets expensive.
In Le Plateau-Mont-Royal, ant treatment starts around $99 and depends on the species, the size of the infestation and access to the nest. Detailed, no-obligation quote after inspection.
They are larger (often black), most active in the evening, and leave small piles of very fine sawdust under wood. They don't eat wood but tunnel into it to nest — treat them quickly.
Workers carry the bait back to the nest: you'll see a sharp drop within days and the colony cleared, usually within two weeks. Killing the visible workers too fast actually hurts the result.
Yes: baits in stations and Health Canada-approved products, placed in strategic spots out of reach. Household safety is part of the protocol.
