Ants are one of the most frequent pests that invade homes in the Niagara Region including St. Catharines. Carpenter ants are one of the most common species that you might come across in your home. These ants are known to be very destructive to the structural integrity of your home. They mostly invade wooden furniture and wooden structural support throughout the house.

Carpenter ant damage is mostly often mistaken for termite damage as both species significantly damage wooden structures or furniture throughout the house. One way to distinguish carpenter ant damage from termite damage is to see signs of, what is known as, ‘frass’. Carpenter ants in fact, tunnel their way through wood with the help of their mandibles and spit it out. Frass might resemble saw dust and is often located right beneath a entry-point. Termites however, consume the wood therefore damaging the integrity of the wood.

If you spot carpenter ants during the day scavenging for food, it might be a clear indicator that you indeed are dealing with a carpenter ant infestation. The unique thing about carpenter ants is that they often have multiple colonies called a satellite colony that can have multiple queens unlike the average pavement ant who usually has one queen and one colony. Carpenter ants often hide themselves in dry and obscure parts of the property and are active during nighttime.They are generally attracted to sweet things. If you hear rustling in your wall that is also a clear sign that you are dealing with a colony in your home that you need to get looked by professionals.

Ant Facts

From the 22,000 estimated species of ants found to date, there are only a few species of ants that actually act as pests to humans. Ants are extremely hardworking and social by nature. Their colonies reflect this spirit in the way their hierarchies are divided. The colony functions like a well-oiled machine with ants assigned to specific tasks to benefit the colony as a whole. This resiliency and determination is enviable, but it is with the same determination that these ants use to turn against us and invade our homes by the thousands. Homes or commercial properties, all of Canada is plagued by different species of ants. Just to name a few: the Pavement Ant, the Pharaoh Ant, and the Carpenter ant are one of the most notorious ones around.

The average worker ant can measure about 6mm while the queen can measure up to 19mm. They can vary in color from read to black. A single carpenter ant colony can have as much as 2000 ants. They are often found in wet areas of the home due to their preference for damp places. They can dig deep galleries in wood with the help of their mandibles and can cause serious structural damage. They are also able to nest in fiberglass, polystyrene insulation and other insulating materials. They can limit the size of their colonies to the moist wood but can worsen through satellite colonies.
