Do You Have Carpenter Ants?
If you have carpenter ants in your home, you’ll be able to spot them easily. Use the advice below to confirm the infestation.
- You may find big, black ants in and around your house.
- Carpenter ants leave small piles and trails of sawdust. Many professionals call the sawdust frass.
- Carpenter ants are not quiet. You’ll hear them moving through your home.
- Check your property for swarmer carpenter ants. They’ll have wings. The presence of carpenter ants means the colony is thriving.
Reasons Carpenter Ants Invade Residential Structures
When carpenter ants build a colony, they’ll start with decaying wood. Then, they’ll focus on ensuring that the colony thrives. Once this happens, the ants are going to begin spreading out and building new colonies elsewhere. They’ll build a new colony in newer wood outside your home. Remember that the colony around your home is not the ant’s primary colony. It is a satellite colony and the ants residing there will enter your home to search for food. They can enter through small cracks around doors and windows. They can also enter through small holes around pipes and cables.
Worried About Your Health?
When you see large, black ants in your home, you may worry about your health. You shouldn’t. Carpenter ants aren’t physically dangerous to people or pets. Nevertheless, they’ll create other issues including property damage to your home.
