foraging for food or for nest building. The workers are highly polymorphic, that is they vary greatly in size ranging from 1\/4 inch to more than 3\/4 inch. The queens may be more than 1\/2 inch long. The black carpenter ant is the most common carpenter ant in the eastern states.<\/p>\n<p>Carpenter ants are distributed widely throughout the United States and range-from sea level to well above 9,000-feet in the western-mountain ranges. They very often are pests in lawns as well as homes. Since theirs is the habit of dwelling in and excavating wood, they were given the common name of &#8220;carpenter ant&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Where an infestation is long standing and the colony is a large one consisting of several thousand ants, structural damage is frequently extensive enough to require major repairs. If the infestation is noted at an early stage, however, all that may be necessary is to get rid of the ants. But this can be a costly and exasperating experience.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-6{width:50% !important;margin-top : 0px;margin-bottom :

sugar ant, and coconut ant.<\/p>\n<p>This species is a scavenger\/predator ant that will eat most household foods, especially those that contain sugar, and other insects. Indoors they will colonize near heat sources or in insulation. In hot and dry situations, nests have been found in house plants and even in the lids of toilets. Outdoors they tend to colonize under rocks and exposed soil. They appear, however, to form colonies virtually anywhere, in a variety of conditions. They can trail extensive distances (though their trails are rarely longer than 50 feet), usually along landscape edges. Colonies range in size from 100-10,000, and house several queens (as many as 200, in some instances). They are non-aggressive.<\/p>\n<p>The common names &#8220;odorous house ant&#8221; and &#8220;coconut ant&#8221; come from the odor the ants produce when crushed, which is very similar to the pungent odor of a coconut.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-9{width:50% !important;margin-top : 0px;margin-bottom : 0px;}.fusion-builder-column-9 > .fusion-column-wrapper {padding-top : 100px !important;padding-right : 14% !important;margin-right : 0px;padding-bottom : 100px !important;padding-left : 14% !important;margin-left : 0px;}@media only screen and (max-width:1199px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-9{width:100% !important;order : 3;}.fusion-builder-column-9 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 0px;margin-left : 0px;}}@media only screen and (max-width:600px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-9{width:100% !important;order : 3;}.fusion-builder-column-9 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 0px;margin-left : 0px;}}<\/style><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-flex-container.fusion-builder-row-2{ padding-top : 0px;margin-top : 0px;padding-right : 0px;padding-bottom : 0px;margin-bottom : 0px;padding-left : 0px;}<\/style><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-3 fusion-flex-container nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"background-color: #f8f8f8;background-position: center center;background-repeat: no-repeat;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color:#eae9e9;border-style:solid;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start\" style=\"max-width:1216.8px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-10 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-title.fusion-title-5 svg path{stroke-width:9!important}@media only screen and (max-width:1199px) {.fusion-title.fusion-title-5{margin-top:0px!important; margin-right:0px!important;margin-bottom:40px!important;margin-left:0px!important;}}@media only screen and (max-width:600px) {.fusion-title.fusion-title-5{margin-top:0px!important; margin-right:0px!important;margin-bottom:20px!important; margin-left:0px!important;}}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-5 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-center fusion-title-highlight fusion-loop-off fusion-highlight-underline fusion-title-size-two fusion-animated\" style=\"text-shadow:1px 1px 3px #607d8b;;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:40px;margin-left:0px;\" data-highlight=\"underline\" data-animationType=\"fadeIn\" data-animationDuration=\"0.6\" data-animationOffset=\"top-into-view\"><h2 class=\"title-heading-center\" style=\"margin:0;color:#000000;\"><span class=\"fusion-highlighted-text-prefix\"><\/span> <span class=\"fusion-highlighted-text-wrapper\"><span class=\"fusion-highlighted-text\">Carpenter Ants Treatment Procedures<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"fusion-highlighted-text-postfix\"><\/span><\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-alert alert success alert-success fusion-alert-left alert-shadow fusion-animated\" style=\"background-color:#dff0d8;color:rgba(92,163,64,1);border-color:rgba(92,163,64,1);border-width:1px;margin-top:40px;margin-bottom:40px;\" data-animationType=\"bounceIn\" data-animationDuration=\"0.6\" data-animationOffset=\"top-into-view\"><div class=\"fusion-alert-content-wrapper\"><span class=\"alert-icon\"><i class=\"fa-lg fa fa-check-circle\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-alert-content\">This review (listed in order of priority or importance) is designed to help you more fully understand the invasive nature of Carpenter Ants, and the thorough treatment procedures\u00a0<i><u>that need to be adhered to<\/u><\/i>\u00a0in order to properly render a comprehensive\u00a0<i><u>initial treatment<\/u><\/i>\u00a0for Carpenter Ants.
