Carpenter ants are significantly larger than typical household ants (up to 5/8 inch long) and are usually black or dark brown. Unlike termites, they don't eat wood but excavate it to create nesting galleries, leaving behind piles of sawdust-like material called frass. You may also hear faint rustling sounds in walls or see winged ants (swarmers) in spring, particularly in Weehawken's older wooden structures.

Yes, carpenter ants are quite common in Weehawken due to the area's humidity from the Hudson River and the abundance of mature trees and older wooden structures. They're particularly prevalent in properties with moisture issues, wood-to-soil contact, or previous water damage. Weehawken's historic homes along the Palisades are especially susceptible to carpenter ant activity.
