Carpenter Ants vs Termites - What’s the Difference?
Large black ants? They’re likely carpenter ants. Although sometimes mistaken for termites because they look somewhat similar and both destroy wood, there are some key differences. Here’s how to tell which you have:
How to Identify Carpenter Ants:
- Waist: Carpenter ants have a pinched, narrow waist; termites have a broad, thick waist.
- Antennae: Carpenter ants have bent (elbowed) antennae; termites have straight antennae.
- Wings: Ant wings are unequal in length (fronts are longer); termite wings are identical in length.
- Diet: Termites eat wood (leaving mud/debris); carpenter ants don’t actually eat it. They excavate into it to create “galleries.”
- Evidence: Look for “frass” (sawdust piles) for carpenter ants; look for mud tubes for termites.

How Does the Carpenter Ant Control Process Work?
We know you’re tired of seeing carpenter ants and feeling like the problem will never end. We take your infestation seriously and offer a comprehensive three-step process for long-term carpenter ant control:
- Inspection: We inspect potential entry points, trails, and nesting areas, considering factors like moisture and wood-to-soil contact. Carpenter ant infestations can involve multiple “satellite” colonies hidden inside walls. Understanding the full scope of the infestation gives our experts the insight to create a custom plan for now and the long term.
- Treatment: Our skilled technicians use targeted treatments, considering carpenter ant behavior and colony dynamics, to solve your problem at every stage of their life cycle. We prioritize methods that reach the heart of the colony to eliminate the queen and stop the excavation.
- Prevention: We understand the frustration of seeing carpenter ants return. Our long-term approach focuses on disrupting the life cycle and preventing new colonies. We’ll advise on exclusion and habitat modification — like fixing leaks or trimming vegetation — to help keep carpenter ants away.
