Do you have carpenter ants?
You may have noticed a few ants here and there, but are they carpenter ants and is there an infestation? To know for sure take a closer look at the ants themselves. Carpenter ants can be either red or black, can be up to one inch long, and have bodies that are made up of three distinct segments with a very tiny waist separating their upper body from their lower body.
They like to nest in damp wood, hollow doors, and inside of walls. They carve out galleries and deposit a sawdust-like material in their wake. You may also hear them moving around in the walls at night when they are most active.
Ways ants are getting into your home and how to avoid them entering in the future
If you have carpenter ants in your home they're likely entering via foliage or wood piles situated in close proximity to your house. Keep trees and shrubs trimmed and clear away old wood and debris from your property. Inside, repair any water leaks, replace any damaged wood or drywall, seal cracks, repair screens, and keep food tightly sealed.
