How do you identify carpenter ants?
You can also identify carpenter ants by their color. They can be yellowish-red, reddish-orange, solid black, or black-red. Their body structure is also different from other ants. There is only one node between their abdomen and thorax. The abdomen has a circle of hairs on the tip, and the thorax has an uneven, round shape.
Can carpenter ants be mistaken for termites?
These ants can be mistaken for termites because they cause damage to the wooden areas where they nest. This mistaken identity can also happen because carpenter ants with wings can look like the swarming stage of termites as well. On the other hand, termites eat wood, whereas carpenter ants build galleries in wood to provide shelter.
Are carpenter ants wingless?
Worker ants are wingless and are typically 1/4- to 1/2-inch long. Winged ants have two sets of wings, with the front set being longer than the rear set. This variation in wing size helps to distinguish carpenter ants from winged termites, which have two sets of wings that are roughly equal in size.
