Our most common ants in our area are:

Carpenter Ants
:
The carpenter ant is a wood destorying ant that can be up to 5/8" long and creates galleries in wood. As they don't eat the wood you will see frass (sawdust) which is commonly mistaken for termite damage.
Little Black Ant:
The little black ant is very small (only 2mm). They nest in wood work inside the home and outside can be found nesting in soil, under rocks, logs, or debris. These are the ants you see "marching" in trails along the foundation of your home.
