What Do Carpenter Ants Do?

More often than not, infestations begin outdoors. These pests will build their numbers outdoors before making the jump into the cozy confines of your home. Parent colonies begin outside, usually in highly wooded areas. This could mean anything from a lush tree line to a pile of firewood. Carpenter ants do not actually eat the wood that they gnaw through but build colonies throughout. When the outdoor parents colonies become too large to sustain ant numbers, winged workers take off in search of a new place to call home. Once ants find an opportune spot, they shed their wings and begin to burrow in. Once inside, ants travel around your property, finding food and leaving signals for other ants to follow.
