Carpenter Ants

Carpenter ants may seem like small nuisances, but they’re actually capable of damaging your home as severely as termites do. However, unlike termites, these ants do not eat wood; they dig into it to create massive, complicated tunnels throughout your home’s wooden structures.

If not dealt with, an infestation can be disastrous—their intricate tunnels can hollow out your walls, beams, and other wooden materials, leading to dangerous (and expensive) structural damage.
