One of the largest ants in the U.S., carpenter ants (Camponotus species) range in size from ½ to 5/8 inches long. They are typically black in color but some species are red, brown, or a combination of colors. Worker carpenter ants have large mandibles (jaws).
While carpenter ants are capable of biting, it’s not common and only if threatened. Carpenter ants are not venomous, nor do they transmit disease.
They are wood-destroying ants that will excavate moist or water-damaged wood in order to create galleries for their reproduction efforts. Unfortunately, those satellite colonies are often found inside homes and businesses. Though they are not as destructive as termites, carpenter ants are capable of causing damage that may result in wood damage, weakening support beams, and warping.
Common signs of a carpenter ant problem include:
Carpenter ants are attracted to moist, decaying, and water-damaged wood inside homes and on properties. Although they primarily infest damaged wood, they will move on to sound wood.
Other attractants include insects they feed on as well as sweets and meats conveniently located in the kitchens of most homes, leaking pipes and appliances, and moisture problems.
