Carpenter ants may look harmless, but they can cause serious damage to your home if left untreated.
🔍 Why Carpenter Ants Are Dangerous
• Tunnel through wood to build nests
• Weaken structural wood, floors, and walls
• Prefer moist and damaged wood
• Can remain hidden for years
• Often indicate moisture or water issues
⏰ Peak Activity Season
• Late spring through summer
• Swarmers (winged ants) appear May–August
• More active after rain or snow melt
• Commonly seen indoors at night
⚠️ Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore
• Large black ants inside your home
• Small piles of wood shavings

👉 Indoor carpenter ants usually mean there is a nest in or near your home. Early professional treatment helps prevent costly structural repairs.
