Many people panic when they see insects damaging wood and immediately assume they are termites. But another pest can cause similar damage — Carpenter Ants.
These ants don’t eat wood like termites, but they dig through it to make their nests. This can weaken your doors, railings, beams, and other wooden parts of your home. If you see wood dust or swelling in wooden areas, it’s a warning sign you shouldn’t ignore.
The good news: you don’t always need expensive pest control. Products like Laxmanrekhaa Ant Chalk and Laxmanrekhaa Cockroach Killing Powder, made with Cypermethrin, can help you get rid of these ants effectively.
What Makes Carpenter Ants Dangerous?
Carpenter ants dig tunnels inside wood to build their colonies. Even though they don’t eat the wood, the hollow tunnels they create can cause major damage over time.
Their colonies can grow very big — sometimes with over 10,000 ants — and they often build extra “satellite” nests inside homes. If wooden structures look swollen or weak, these ants might already be inside.
They usually prefer moist or old wood, but if they find an easy entry, they will attack new wood too.
🐜 How Ants Enter Your Home ?
Carpenter ants often enter through:
- Electrical points – They crawl in through tiny gaps around switchboards and wiring.
- Tree branches or firewood – Ants use these as bridges to reach your walls.
- Flying swarmers – During warm weather or after monsoon, winged ants fly out to start new colonies. If they find soft or weak wood, they settle in quickly.
Do They Bite?
Yes, carpenter ants can bite if disturbed. The bite may cause mild burning or redness, but it’s not dangerous. The real danger is the damage they cause to your home.
The Original Laxmanrekhaa is your Solution
Because carpenter ants hide deep inside wood, normal sprays may not reach them. You need products that leave long-lasting effects.
Both Laxmanrekhaa Ant Chalk and Laxmanrekhaa Cockroach Killer Powder contain Cypermethrin, a strong insect-killing ingredient. Ants carry this chemical back to their nest, helping destroy the entire colony.
1. Laxmanrekhaa Ant Chalk – Your Protective Barrier
Use the chalk to draw thick lines at entry points like:
- Door frames
- Window sills
- Electrical sockets
When ants cross the line, they pick up the Cypermethrin and spread it to their colony. The effect lasts for weeks.
2. Laxmanrekhaa Cockroach Powder – Reaches Deep Cracks
This powder is perfect for places where chalk can’t reach:
- Wood cracks
- Wall gaps
- Tiny holes in beams
It settles deep inside and stays active for a long time, helping kill hidden colonies.
