Grade and moisture

Pavement ants at grade. Carpenter ants in wet wood. The trail on the counter is the map, not the job.

## Pavement ants at grade

The slab joint, the walkway crack, the hose bib. Treat the trail and close the grade detail or they reroute after the next Chinook.

## Carpenter ants are not termites

Carpenter ants nest in wet or damaged wood. Termites are not established in Alberta.

## What we work under

Chemistry, when we use it, is a Health Canada-registered product used to the label. Service work in Alberta sits under provincial pesticide rules.
