They usually do not cause as much damage to wood as termites. They are different then termites because they do not consume wood they tunnel into the wood. In most instances carpenter ants will attack wood that is moist or already damaged. Structural damage from carpenter ants is limited to the size of the carpenter ant colony. Often carpenter ants are discovered while undertaking repairs on the home. They will nest in hollow doors, sills, saddles, behind siding, in wood columns and many other places where they can find a moisture source. Carpenter ants can be\u00a0controlled by using certain spray or power type insecticides.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span lang=\"EN\">LookSmart Home Inspections is an independent New Jersey Home Inspection company. <\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carpenter ants are another wood destroying insect that I look for during your New Jersey Home Inspection.
