Carpenter ants are significantly larger than common household ants (1/4 to 1/2 inch long) and are typically black or dark brown. You may notice piles of wood shavings (frass) near wooden structures, hear faint rustling sounds inside walls, or see winged ants during spring swarming season. Unlike termites, carpenter ants don't eat wood—they excavate it to build nests, leaving smooth galleries. Our technicians can accurately identify the species during your free inspection.

Yes, carpenter ants can cause significant structural damage over time by excavating wood to create nesting galleries. They're particularly attracted to moisture-damaged wood in areas like window frames, roof eaves, porches, and basement joists—common trouble spots in Queens Village's older homes. While damage occurs more slowly than with termites, a mature carpenter ant colony can compromise wooden structures. Early detection and professional treatment are essential to preventing costly repairs.
