Overview of Carpenter Ants in Mequon

Carpenter ants are responsible for a significant percentage of infestations and pest control complaints in Wisconsin. There are many carpenter ant species in the U.S., but the most common variety in our service area is the black carpenter ant. As their name suggests, black carpenter ants have black bodies covered in gray or yellow hairs. They are relatively large ants, and adult workers can reach lengths of half an inch or more.

Problems Associated with Carpenter Ants

Once they reach maturity, carpenter ant colonies can sustain thousands of worker ants and a queen. Winged male ants are responsible for breeding with the queen, and the queen chooses a suitable site to nest and lay her eggs. Unfortunately for humans, carpenter ants nest and breed in wooden structures, including the timbers used to construct homes and other buildings. Workers have enlarged mandibles that they use to carve out tunnel systems called galleries. These galleries can cause severe damage to any trees or wooden structures on your property.
