Home Interior Tips
Carpenter ants can easily get into your home through damp wood. Make sure your home interior stays dry at all times. Pay close attention to areas that tend to be damper than others, such as your basement. You can reduce moisture in these areas with a dehumidifier. If your home has any leaks, have those fixed to prevent additional dampness as well.
Outside Tips
Spring rain can make the perimeter around your foundation damp, which attracts carpenter ants. Take steps to help this area dry out quickly after rain, such as trimming branches that block sunlight or loosening soil so rainwater can be absorbed into the ground.
