Unaddressed, they cause a lot of damage to your home. <br /><br />Carpenter ants do not eat wood. They remove wood as they create tunnels and galleries.<br />Infestation problems grow quickly. They are made worse because carpenter ants typically infiltrate already weakened wood.<br /><br />If there is moist or decayed wood, carpenter ants will likely find it. Leaks, excess condensation, and areas with poor circulation are prime problem locations. <br /><br />Carpenter ants build nests around sinks, showers, dishwashers, and behind bathroom tiles. Beams in the attic or under the subfloor insulation are also prime areas.<br />Carpenter ants can make nests outside your home. A yard with rotting trees or stumps attracts them. <br /><br />If carpenter ants do make a nest in your yard, don’t leave them alone. They can build satellite nests, including inside your home. <br /><br />The main nest must be near moisture. Satellite nests don’t require a water source. They can build satellite nests up to 100 yards from the main nest.<br /><br />If you spot carpenter ants around your home, you have a problem. It won’t go away by itself. Address it quickly.
