Yes, carpenter ants excavate wood to create nesting galleries, which can seriously compromise structural integrity over time. Unlike termites, they don't eat wood but remove it to expand their colonies. In Clifton's many older wooden structures, untreated carpenter ant infestations can damage floor joists, wall studs, and roof supports, potentially costing thousands in repairs if not addressed promptly.
