Do I Have a Carpenter Ant Infestation in My Home?
Carpenter ants can be a problem year-round, especially in damp or moisture-prone areas. Check around windows, doors, and spaces near water sources such as kitchens, bathrooms, and basements, as these are common nesting spots. If you suspect carpenter ants in or around your home, it’s important to act quickly. Carpenter ants live in colonies, and their nests can be challenging to locate and remove on your own. For effective and thorough removal, contact a professional pest control company to address the infestation and prevent further damage.

How to Identify Carpenter Ants
Carpenter ants are distinct with their smooth, rounded backs and narrow, pinched waists featuring a small hump. To accurately identify them, you may need to examine an ant closely using a magnifying glass.
These ants typically measure around 3/8 of an inch in length but can range from 1/4 to 1 inch, making them one of the larger ant species. However, size alone isn’t a definitive indicator, as other ant species can be similar in size. The real concern arises when dealing with wood-damaging carpenter ants, so correctly distinguishing them from other ant types is essential to protecting your property.
For expert identification and removal of carpenter ants, contact Icon Pest, serving the Greater Toronto Area with reliable and efficient pest control services.

Signs of a Carpenter Ant Infestation
Sawdust-Like Material (Frass)
Carpenter ants dig through wood to build their nests, leaving behind small piles of sawdust-like debris near windows, doors, or baseboards.
Rustling Sounds
You might hear faint rustling noises coming from inside walls or wooden furniture, especially at night when carpenter ants are more active.
Damaged Wood
Carpenter ants don’t eat wood, but they tunnel through it. Look for hollow or weak wood in walls, floors, or furniture.
Ant Trails
If you notice ants traveling to and from damp areas or wooden spots, it’s a sign they may have a nest.
Winged Ants
Seeing winged ants inside, particularly near windows or lights, could mean there’s a mature colony nearby.

What Causes Carpenter Ants?
Carpenter ants play an important role in the environment by decomposing dead wood in forests, but they will also invade homes in search of food and water. Here are four common reasons you may have carpenter ants:
1. Insects:
Carpenter ants feed on other insects, particularly the sticky honeydew produced by aphids, and other sweet substances.
2. Food:
In addition to sweet treats like sugar, carpenter ants are attracted to unsealed food sources in your home, such as grains, cereals, flour, and even meats.
3. Wet Wood:
Excess moisture in and around your home—due to rain, humidity, plumbing leaks, or condensation—can attract carpenter ants as they seek out damp wood for nesting.
4. Old Wood Piles:
Carpenter ants often nest in dead trees or old wood piles. If these colonies are within 300 feet of your home, the ants may eventually invade your property, tunneling into your home’s wood structures.
