Carpenter Ants and Their Control

Of the approximately 100 different species of ants found in Iowa, the most destructive are carpenter ants. Most carpenter ants are large and shiny black, although some species are dark brown or reddish and medium-sized. These ants can cause major structural damage when they tunnel in wood to construct their nests.

This publication covers identification, life cycle and habits, management and prevention of carpenter ants.
