Frequently Asked Questions About Carpenter Ants

What are carpenter ants?

Carpenter ants are a species of ant that is known for their ability to infiltrate wooden structures and chew their way through them. They are larger than most other types of commonly encountered ants, and adult carpenter ants grow to be around half an inch in size. Carpenter ants have distinctive dark-colored bodies, thin waists, strong jaws, and reproductive carpenter ants, also known as swarmers, have wings.

Are carpenter ants dangerous?

A carpenter ant infestation may not prove to be much of a threat to humans, as these ants rarely bite humans, but they can cause serious problems around your property, especially if you let an infestation grow out of control.

Carpenter ants are known for their ability to chew through wood and destroy the wooden structures of human properties. As carpenter ants hollow out wooden areas while creating tunnels, they weaken the wooden structures of your property and cause costly damage in addition to causing a risk of structural collapse.
