Ants can be quite a pest for those that have to deal with them. Carpenter ants are some of the larger varieties of ants and commonly reside in wood or other building structures. ​They are attracted to sweet materials, such as honeydew which is a sugary liquid exuded by aphids. These carpenter ants can lead to structural problems for those with wooden structures in their home or workplace. Ants can be a huge problem for homeowners. Not only is it annoying to find them in your home, but what happens if they start coming inside your house? Ants are attracted to the sweet honey you have on your countertop and can quickly get out of hand. Terro is a great product for ants.

Introduction

Terro Carpenter Ant Killer II with Borax is a bait that you can use to treat ants before they leave the nest. After they eat the poison, they return to the nest and infect their own kind. This is a product used by professionals. In response to demand for a home version of the commercial formula, Terro has developed a ready-to-use version with fewer directions but still producing effective results.

Carpenter Ants

Carpenter ants are the most common species in the United States, but they’re also found throughout South America. Carpenter ants get their name from their tendency to bore into wood for nesting purposes—they do not eat the wood, nor do they bite or sting people. They are small and blackish brown, with one longitudinal stripe on each side of their thorax (the middle part of an insect’s body).

You may find these ants around windowsills, doorsills and other structures made out of wood. Like most types of ants, carpenter ants form colonies divided into different castes: winged males and females that leave the nest to mate; wingless worker females who collect food and care for larvae; male drones (non-reproductive males) whose sole purpose is to mate with new queens as soon as they emerge from their cocoons; and finally queen larvae which will mature into new queens once they emerge from their pupal stage.

Carpenter ant colonies can be quite large (upwards of 50 million individuals in some cases!), so it’s important not only that you keep them out but also that you remove any damage they’ve already caused inside your home or business space.

Typically, carpenter ants will enter homes through cracks and crevices in the foundation or exterior walls. Once inside, they travel to wet structural wood and build their nests. When a colony is mature, it will send out swarmers periodically to reproduce. Carpenter ants can be recognized by their large size (up to 3/4 inch) and dark color. In fact, there are 15 different species of carpenter ant found throughout the US.

Carpenter ants are attracted to moisture, so they can be found in wall voids and other moist areas of a home. They also feed on sweets, plants and tree sap. Carpenter ants love to nest in moist wood or drywall, which makes them especially difficult to get rid of because you may not see the nest until it’s too late.

If you have carpenter ant problems inside your home and want to prevent them from coming back again next year, then call Terro today!

The two most common types of carpenter ants are the black carpenter ant and yellow carpenter ant.

The black carpenter ant is usually larger than the yellow carpenter ant, but both species are more aggressive than other types of ants.

While these two species are not harmful to humans or pets, they can cause damage to homes by building nests inside your walls or in other areas where you store items like firewood, paper products like cardboard boxes or bookshelves with wooden frames around them
