Pest of the month

Carpenter ants can be a nuisance if they enter your home.  Carpenter ants are red and black and can grow to 5/8”.  They have two sets of wings and are often mistaken for termites. Interestingly enough, both termites and carpenter ants are wood destroying organisms.
  These ants construct their nests in hollow trees, landscaping timbers and wood used in homes. Heavy activity around your residence could indicate a moisture issue or possible termite problem.
  Once inside your home, carpenter ants will search for food. Their favorites are sweets, eggs and grease.
