Species that are known to invade homes in Ontario may include the carpenter ant, the little black ant, the odorous house ant, the thief ant and the pharaoh ant.
If you live in Ontario there is always the possibility of ant problems and costly destruction by wood chewing ants. With the majority of the homes in the Ontario built with wood framing. Carpenter ants pose a considerable threat to wood structures, left unchecked; they can infest your home, cottage or building. Identifying and understanding the behavior of these ants is the first step in understanding them.
Carpenter ants can thrive in damp or moist areas throughout your structure. Carpenter ant infestation requires careful attention to avoid structural damage that can result from their tunneling in our homes. Carpenter ants don’t eat wood for its nutritional value; they merely use it for shelter purposes.
You may see wood tunnels, fine wood dust or you may not see damaged wood at all. Damaged wood may appear crushed, flaky or tunneled in infested areas which are cause for concern.
