Identifying Carpenter Ant Problems in Your Property

Carpenter ants rank among the largest ant species in San Diego, measuring between 1/4 to 1/2 inch long with colors from black to reddish-brown. Unlike termites, they don't eat wood but carve it out to build nests, creating smooth tunnels and galleries. Spotting carpenter ant activity early can prevent extensive structural damage and expensive repairs.

• Piles of wood shavings (frass) near wooden structures
• Hollow-sounding wood when tapped
• Visible tunnels and galleries in damaged wood
• Rustling sounds within walls
• Large ants visible, especially at night
• Winged ants emerging from walls or woodwork
• Small holes in wooden surfaces

Carpenter ants prefer moisture-damaged wood, making areas with water leaks or high humidity perfect for infestation. They typically build satellite colonies inside buildings while keeping their main colony outdoors in trees, stumps, or landscape timbers. This complex colony system makes store-bought treatments generally ineffective, as they rarely address the root cause of the infestation.
