Why? Because this is the time of year you have to start worrying about them.
The Facts!!
1. There are 9 different types of Carpenter Ants that live in the United States
2. Each colony was started with just one queen ant. She stays in the nest and raises her baby ants by feeding them saliva (eww!)
3. A colony of ants can average around 2,000!
4. Carpenter Ants don't actually eat the wood! They burrow holes and use the wood in other places around the nest while eating other insects, meat, fats, and sugary foods.
5. Carpenter Ants usually enter your home or business through previously wet and damaged wood
More soon! :)
