In Toronto, the carpenter ant is one of the very typical pests present in and round the house. The Black Carpenter Ant is really a indigenous species to the Toronto region; they are truly the most typical wood infesting pests within the GTA, considerably more prevalent than termites.

An entry route is found by the worker ant which then tunnels by gnawing in the wood grain. The wood is discarded and chewed outside the tunnel. The throwaway shavings, which resemble sawdust, provide an indicator of nesting areas. Frequently, the nest is extended in-to sound wood. Their wooden tunnels must be left by carpenter ants to hunt for food.
Carpenter ants are social insects comprising 3 different casts : queens, workers and males. Workers live so long as 7 years, and are female, never with wings.
