The Damage You Can't See

Carpenter Ants Don't Eat Wood. They Live In It.

Unlike termites that digest wood, carpenter ants excavate it — hollowing out galleries inside your walls, floors, and framing. The damage is structural. And it's silent. By the time you see a trail of large black ants crossing your kitchen floor, there's already a nest site inside your home.

On the NH Seacoast, older homes with moisture in the basement, wood in contact with soil, or any prior water damage are the highest-risk targets. That means Portsmouth's historic downtown homes, Exeter's older student rentals, and the historical downtown homes in Hampton and Rye are exactly where carpenter ants thrive.

One call stops it all. Guaranteed.

Ecotech's Approach

Precision Pest Control. Not Treatments Everywhere.

Ecotech treats only the exterior of your home. That means no treatments inside and no disruption to your schedule. Ecotech applies precision treatment to the specific infiltration points and eliminates the problem at its root.

Ongoing Protection

Two Treatments Per Year Keeps Them Gone.

Spring Treatment

Colony activation season. We treat before they move inside.

Late Summer Treatment

Pre-winter prevention. Stop overwintering colonies before they establish.
