Carpenter ants, ranging in size from 3.4 mm to 14 mm and in color from brown, black, to red & black, are valuable insects that chew up wood, turning it into fine sawdust that rots and provides compost for new growth. However, when they enter man-made structures, they can cause serious structural damage by digging tunnels and building nests within walls. A carpenter ant infestation needs to be eradicated as soon as possible to prevent further damage. Signs of an infestation include debris such as wood shavings or sawdust, large ants in your house, the presence of winged ants, and rustling noises inside your walls. They are attracted to moisture and wood, often building their nests in damp or decaying wood. They are more active at night and can bite as a defense mechanism when their nests are disturbed.
