Carpenter ants feed on wood and that means any wooden structure can be at risk for serious damage done by carpenter ants. If left untreated the carpenter ants can multiply and become very hard to eradicate and costly too. They can have wings or may not have them, but they are large ants and should be taken seriously. Please call a professional if you think you any carpenter ants around your home or office. GoPro Pest Control can be there quickly to help assess the extent of the problem. What you are seeing could also be common household ants and thats good. We can help with those of course too.
