Guarding Against Carpenter Ant Intrusion
Meet the Giants
Carpenter ants reign as some of the largest ant species, measuring between 3.4 to 13 mm in length. While typically black, some may showcase reddish or yellowish hues. Recognizable by their imposing mandibles, these ants establish their presence both outdoors and indoors, favoring moist, decaying, or hollow wood for their habitats.
Woodcraft Experts
Carpenter ants exhibit a unique talent for crafting galleries within wood grain, forming intricate nests and passageways. This woodcutting activity leaves behind a telltale trail of wood shavings mixed with remnants of deceased ants—an unmistakable sign of their nesting locations.
