Carpenter Ants and Termites: Understanding the Threat

Carpenter ants and termites

Carpenter ants and termites are two common wood-destroying pests that can wreak havoc on properties. At Blackwater Consulting Services, we specialize in helping our clients navigate the challenges presented by these destructive insects. Since 2010, we’ve been dedicated to providing expert consulting services in South Carolina and throughout the greater Southeastern United States.

Black Carpenter Ants - A Hidden Menace

Black carpenter ants, often mistaken for termites, can cause extensive damage to wooden structures. These large ants carve galleries into wood, compromising its structural integrity. Understanding the signs of black carpenter ant wood damage is crucial for early detection and intervention.

Carpenter Ant Damage - A Costly Concern

Carpenter ant damage can be financially burdensome for property owners. These ants don’t consume wood but excavate it to build their nests. As a result, they can create hollow spaces within structural elements. Recognizing the signs of carpenter ant damage is vital to prevent further deterioration.

Differentiating Carpenter Ants and Termites

Carpenter ants and termites share some similarities, such as their ability to damage wood. However, they have distinct characteristics. While termites feed on cellulose in wood, carpenter ants do not consume wood. Instead, they tunnel into it for nesting purposes. Proper identification of these pests is essential for effective treatment.
