Carpenter Ants in New York

Carpenter ants are wood-destroying insects native to New York that are usually mistaken for termites.  Much like termites, carpenter ants can consume and destroy a wooden structure if left alone.  These ants have even been known to cause walls to collapse.  The main difference, however, between carpenter ants and termites is that the ants simply tunnel through and nest in the wood without eating it.

Habitats of Carpenter Ants in New York

Carpenter ants tend to like damp or rotting wood, including firewood, fencing, and tree stumps when they live outdoors.  When indoors, however, they will quickly infest foam or wood insulation, or other building materials.  Carpenter ants can get in through cracks in the foundation or property, and prefer the inside to the outside whenever possible.  Call Extermicore to get rid of these unwanted visitors in as little as one day!

Carpenter Ant Behaviors 

Though carpenter ants are not technically dangerous to humans, and very rarely bite, they are still considered a huge hazard to your home. Populations of carpenter ants can explode in good conditions, causing smaller nets to branch out and spread all over your Long Island home.  Carpenter ants are similar to termites in that they will swarm to mate, and establish satellite colonies in other areas of your home.
