Seeing Sawdust from carpenter ants?
Carpenter ants are in full swing, as they are creating or expanding their colonies they bore into wood. As they create their galleries, they have to find an area to discard the little pieces of wood that they have excavated. Wood boring ants such as Acrobat ants and Carpenter ants produce frass, and it can accumulate quickly.
Frass produced from carpenter ants.
Over time, carpenter ants can become a big problem as they can cause structural damage to your property. They prefer damp or rotted wood because it’s easy for them to bore into, and provides the humidity needed to thrive, making it an ideal place to make their nests. As the galleries grow, the integrity of the wood is put at risk.
