Carpenter ants may seem like small nuisances, but theyโ€™re actually capable of damaging your home as severely as termites do. However, unlike termites, these ants do not eat wood; they dig into it to create massive, complicated tunnels throughout your homeโ€™s wooden structures.

If not dealt with, an infestation can be disastrousโ€”their intricate tunnels can hollow out your walls, beams, and other wooden materials, leading to dangerous (and expensive) structural damage.
