Carpenter ants bore into wood to provide living quarters but do not feed on wood. They expel their borings as sawdust from their mines. (In contrast, termites consume the wood in which they live.) Besides being destructive, carpenter ants in homes are a nuisance; crawling all over furniture, getting into food and swarming in living quarters.

Usually, carpenter ants enter a residence through openings in the foundation. Carpenter ants prefer dark and sheltered areas to carry out their activities. For this reason, a word of caution is advised to the homeowner who may feel reluctant about having their home professionally treated when only a few ants have been seen: The average colony has over 2,000 workers, numerous eggs, larvae, pupae, as well as males and winged females.
