Thanks for this informative vid..I have been fighting carpenter ants for two years, but they seem to be everywhere! This is probably due to living in an old orchard, don't you think? Appreciate your showing the difference between the winged ants and the winged termites. thanks! cat

Carpenter ants like moist wood. You may have a wet crawl, leaking window, leaking door, leaking flashing, leaking roof, soffit ice dam melt or a in the wall condensation conditions. If you see the ants soon after snow melt, they have a satellite colony in your home.

The termites in my house are constructing a black-like tunnel on the top of the side boards and I' m sure the parquet will be or had been eaten up =S

This video has good points but its a far cry from the truth. Carpenter ants don't actually eat the wood, they mearly excavate old galleries. If you have carpenter ants, I'd recommend cutting back any vegetation around the house and use a bait.
