Carpenter Ant native to North America, live in timber instead of soil. Once inside a human home, they make their nests within wooden structures, which they hollow out with their sharp mandibles. Inside the nest, colony members perform their specialized tasks. The queen resides in the core of the nest, where she lays the eggs that are the colony’s sole source of new individuals. Specialized workers care for the queen and the developing young. Other ants bring seeds to the nest and expand the nest by excavating new chambers and tunnels.This is a picture of wood damage done by Carpenter Ants.

Termite colonies or termitaries, range in size from several hundred to several million individuals. Common in tropical rain forests, there may be from several dozen to several thousand termitaries per acre of forest. Many species of termites have a caste system, consisting of reproductive individuals, workers, and soldiers. The workers build the nest and provide food and grooming for the greatly enlarged egg-laying female and all other colony members. The soldiers provide protection for the colony, while the reproductive pair ensures a constant supply of eggs. In many species, egg production may approach 30,000 eggs per day. The majority of termites build their nests underground. The subterranean termites are extremely destructive, because they tunnel their way to wooden structures, into which they burrow to obtain food. Given enough time, they will feed on the wood until nothing is left but a shell. TREATMENT: SENTRICON SYSTEM
