Carpenter ants are among the largest ants found within the united states. Carpenter ants can be difficult to control so it's best to call a professional.

Carpenter ants are social insects and usually nest in wood.  They excavate in rotting wood, trees and in structures so they readily infest wood foam insulation and cavities.

The workers excavate the nest, forage for food, and care for the young.  Carpenter ants feed on sugar solutions from honey dew-producing insects. They enter structures through gaps and cracks while they look for food.
