What we see locally
Pest patterns in Magnolia
Discovery Park, the city's largest park, and the wooded bluffs around Magnolia give carpenter ants stumps and damp wood for parent colonies, and those colonies send satellites into nearby homes. Damp shade on the north and west slopes keeps decks and trim wet.
The same woods bring raccoons, opossums and roof rats to neighborhood yards, and older homes with crawl spaces and vented attics give them places to settle.
Magnolia is a short drive from downtown, and urgent calls are usually handled the same or next day.
Local advice
Homes at the edge of the woods
For park-edge homes, the yard is part of the job. Old stumps, landscape timbers and firewood near the house are common carpenter ant parent sites, and moving or removing them reduces pressure on the structure.
Check decks and lower siding on the shaded sides of the house each spring. Soft wood or sawdust-like frass usually means moisture and ants working together.
Wildlife from the woods tests crawl space vents, deck skirting and roof vents. Steel screens and a buried mesh skirt close the openings they use most.
