Barnes Wildlife Control Knows The Many Ways To Rid Carpenter Ants. But, You need to identify them first!

How do you identify whether you do have carpenter ants?

In Ohio, the black carpenter ant is the most common species. Carpenter ants have many features. The colors of carpenter ants range from black, red, brown, tan, yellow, or some combination thereof. Ohio Carpenter Ants are black. Also, like other ants, these ants have a small waist and bent antennae. Carpenter ants have a rounded thorax and one node between the thorax and abdomen. Also, fringe of hairs surrounds the anal opening at the end of the abdomen. Also, there is more hair spread over the body.

As you may know Carpenter Ants can have wings. Usually, a colony does not produce winged males and queens until it’s several years old. At that time the colony is made up of 2,000 to 3,000 workers. Winged males are smaller than winged queens. Wingless queens measure 5/8 inch, winged queens 3/4 inch, large major workers 1/2 inch, and small minor workers 1/4 inch. Workers have some brown on them, while queens are black. Workers have large heads and a small thorax while adult swarmers have a smaller head and large thorax.
