Carpenter Ants

Pest Control: Carpenter Ants

Carpenter ants are large (.25 to 1 in/0.63 to 2.5 cm) ants indigenous to many parts of the world. They prefer dead, damp wood in which to build nests. 


Carpenter ants are capable of causing similar damage as termites do. The difference being, carpenter ants create tunnel systems to make their nests and live inside the wood.  Termites eat the wood and nest underground.  Carpenter ants leave behind a sawdust-like material called frass that provides clues to their nesting location. Their galleries are smooth and very different from termite-damaged areas, which have mud packed into the hollowed-out areas. Certain parts of a house, such as around and under windows, roof eaves, decks and porches, are more likely to be infested by Carpenter Ants because these areas are most vulnerable to moisture.
