Carpenter ants do damage to wood by chewing on it, so it’s important to get rid of them before they can cause more damage or start a colony inside your home.
The best way to get rid of these pesky insects is by calling a professional pest control company. The most effective method involves using bait stations or liquid pesticides that the ants will carry back to their colony and kill off all the other ants in it as well.
It’s important not only to get rid of these pests but also prevent them from getting into your home again in the future by sealing up cracks around windows or doors with caulking or putty if necessary so they cannot enter through those areas again!
Carpenter ants are a species of ant that typically nests in wood. They are a very common pest due to their ability to cause significant damage to wood structures.
Carpenter ants typically nest in moist wood that is soft and easy for them to chew through. This includes rotting wood or wood that has been softened by water damage or decay.
Carpenter ants do not eat the wood they are nesting in, but they will lay eggs inside it. Their larvae then feed on the fungus growing on the fungus growing on the rotting wood, which they use as their food source while they develop.
The most common type of wood used by carpenter ants is treated lumber, since it is softer than untreated lumber and easier for the ants to chew through.
