Carpenter ants are large, destructive pests known for nesting in wood, often causing damage to homes and buildings. Unlike termites, they don't eat wood but excavate it to create their nests. These ants prefer damp, decaying wood but can also infest dry wood if it's softened by moisture. Signs of an infestation include sawdust piles, rustling sounds within walls, and visible trails of ants. Early detection is key to preventing extensive damage. Professional pest control is often required to eliminate carpenter ants and repair any structural damage. Regular maintenance and sealing cracks can help prevent future infestations.
