What are carpenter ants doing at the base of these palm trees? 🐜🌴
One of our technicians found carpenter ant activity around two palm trees in a customer’s yard. Carpenter ants are drawn to damp or decaying wood, where they excavate galleries to build their nests.
While they do not eat wood like termites, a colony can weaken it over time. If they reach your home, treating the infestation before repairing the damaged wood is important.
