Ants are one of the most common pests in Bellingham-area homes, and the Pacific Northwest has its own troublesome species. The big ones here are the carpenter ant — a large ant that tunnels into moist or damaged wood to nest and can cause structural damage over time — and moisture ants, drawn to the damp wood and crawlspaces so common in our wet climate. Small odorous house ants (“sugar ants”) also trail across counters looking for food.
Ants are social insects that live in large colonies, so swatting the ants you see never solves the problem — the colony keeps producing more. Carpenter and moisture ants are especially important to identify, because their presence usually points to a moisture problem or damaged wood that needs attention.
Effective ant control means identifying the species, locating the colony, and treating it at the source — exactly what Sasquatch Pest Control does.
Signs of a Ant Problem
Ant activity is usually easy to spot, but the species matters. Look for:
Trails of ants along counters, baseboards, or windowsills.
Piles of coarse sawdust (frass) near wood — a classic sign of carpenter ants.
Large black or reddish carpenter ants, especially in spring.
A faint rustling sound inside walls where carpenter ants are active.
Winged ants (swarmers) indoors, often mistaken for termites.
Ants around damp areas — under sinks, in bathrooms, or near crawlspaces.
Why Ant Control Matters
Carpenter ants are the biggest concern in our region: they excavate galleries in moist or damaged wood and, over time, can weaken structural timbers — and their presence often points to a hidden moisture or leak problem. Moisture ants similarly signal damp, decaying wood. All ants contaminate food as they forage.
Because these ants nest in and around the structure and are tied to moisture, professional identification and treatment — plus addressing the underlying moisture — is the reliable fix.
How Sasquatch Pest Control Gets Rid of Ants
Sasquatch Pest Control gets rid of ants by targeting the colony, not just the trail:
Free Inspection. We identify the species and locate nests, entry points, and any moisture issues attracting them.
Custom Plan. Different ants need different treatments, so we match the method to the species for real results.
Targeted Treatment. Using professional baits and treatments, we eliminate the colony at its source and treat trails and entry points.
Ongoing Protection. A recurring exterior program keeps new colonies from moving in, backed by our 100% guarantee.
How to Prevent Ants
Make your home less attractive to ants — especially carpenter and moisture ants:
Fix leaks and reduce moisture, which draws carpenter and moisture ants.
Keep firewood, mulch, and debris away from the foundation.
Trim trees and shrubs away from the house so ants cannot bridge inside.
Replace or repair water-damaged and rotting wood.
Wipe up spills and store food in sealed containers.
Seal cracks and gaps around windows, doors, and the foundation.
Frequently Asked Questions About Ants
How do I tell carpenter ants from termites?
Carpenter ants have a pinched waist, bent antennae, and push out coarse sawdust; termites have a straight waist, straight antennae, and make mud tubes. Carpenter ants are far more common in our area. If unsure, call 360-410-2199.
Do carpenter ants damage my house?
Yes. They tunnel galleries into moist or damaged wood to nest and can weaken structural timbers over time. Their presence also usually signals a moisture problem worth addressing.
Why do I keep getting ants no matter what I do?
Sprays kill the ants you see but not the colony or queen. Professional baiting eliminates the colony at its source, which is why the results last.
What are moisture ants?
Moisture ants are attracted to damp, decaying wood and often appear where there is a leak or moisture problem. Treating them also means fixing the underlying moisture.
When are ants most active in the Bellingham area?
Carpenter ants become most active in spring and summer as they forage and expand nests, though they can be active in heated homes year-round.
How much does ant control cost?
It depends on the species and severity. Sasquatch Pest Control offers a free inspection and honest pricing, plus affordable recurring programs.
