Description
Carpenter ants may establish nests in a number of different locations. It is important to realize that these locations can be either inside or outside of your home. Carpenter ants actually construct two different kinds of nests: parent colonies and satellite colonies. Parent colonies contain the larva and queen, whereas satellite colonies only house workers. The carpenter ants inside a home may have originated from the parent colony or from one or more satellite nests.

The extent and potential damage to a home depends on how many nests are actually present within the structure, and how long the infestation has been active. Although large carpenter ant colonies are capable of causing structural damage, the damage is not normally as serious as that from termites. In some cases, the damage may be relatively insignificant, but this can only be determined by locating and exposing the nest area.

Damage caused by Carpenter ants

Carpenter ants damage wood by excavating and creating channels and tunnels. These areas are clean, i.e. they do not contain sawdust or other debris, and are smooth, with a well sanded appearance. The damage to wood structures is variable. The longer a colony is present in a structure, the greater the damage that can be done. If structural wood is weakened, carpenter ant damage can be severe.

Prevention

An important method for preventing carpenter ant problems indoors is to eliminate high moisture conditions that are attractive to them, and replace any water-damaged wood. Be careful that wood or lumber that is stored in a garage or near the house is kept dry and, if possible, elevated to allow air circulation.

Store firewood as far away from buildings as possible. Remove tree and shrub stumps and roots. Trim branches that overhang the home. Be sure the tree or shrub species can be pruned at the time, e.g., do not prune oak between April 15 and September 15 because of the risk of oak wilt. Also, prune branches that touch electrical lines or other wires that are connected to the house; carpenter ants can travel from branches to lines.
