Carpenter ants are significantly larger than common household ants, typically 1/4 to 1/2 inch long, and are usually black or dark brown. Unlike termites, carpenter ants don't eat wood but excavate it to build nests, leaving behind piles of sawdust-like material called frass. You may also hear faint rustling sounds inside walls or see large ants with wings during spring months, particularly around windows and doors.
