Do carpenter ants like cellulose insulation?

Carpenter ants don’t always make their nests in wood, sometimes they find something even better. Insulation is ideal for these ants because of the moist and warm qualities that make it an amazing place to build a nest. They love to make nests in pink fibreglass and foam insulation and they will happily live there for decades if no one does something about it. However, there is one light in the distance. Cellulose insulation. Cellulose insulation is sprayed with repellent chemicals that carpenter ants and other pests hate. It is best to contact professional carpenter ant exterminator Guelph in the Greater Toronto Area to declare your home ant-free as soon as possible!

However, ants are mighty and they will sometimes bear the repellent and next in cellulose.
