Florida Carpenter Ants
• Carpenter ants are sometimes called
bulldog rodents or bull snakes. Two
carpenter ant species that are typical
around constructions in the South would be
the Florida carpenter ant and the Tortugas
carpenter ant.
How To Identify Them
• The Florida carpenter ant has two antennae which has
12 segments without a club. The Carpenter ant does not
have a stinger, however the Florida carpenter ants bite
or spray formic acid on predators to protect themselves.
The ants thorax has an even convex; a vital
characteristic of the carpenter ant.
• Three Types of Carpenter Ants
• The Tortugas carpenter ant worker is from ¼ of an inch
to 7/16 of an inch in length. Black carpenter ant
employees are ¼ to ½ inch in length. Carpenter ants
grow through a complete metamorphosis, going through
stages of egg, larva, pupa, and adult worker or
reproductive ants with wings.
How Do They Reproduce
• Carpenter ants can create brand new
colonies when winged males and females
emerge from a nest and depart for a mating
flight. During the flight period, carpenter
ants are found in alarming amounts.
Where Are They Located
• Carpenter ant nests are usually started
under bark or wooden debris on the ground.
Estimating the size of carpenter ant colonies
is very difficult since they might include
more than 1 nest. Carpenter ants are among
the most common indoor pest pests.
Other Nesting Sites
• Other possible nesting sites for carpenter
ants are crawlspaces and attics and that
have high humidity which is attractive to
the Carpenter ants. Carpenter ants may
track from an interior nest into an exterior
food resource.
Indoor Nests
• In order to locate nests search in areas
where high ant populations are indicating a
closer proximity to the nests. Where
carpenter ant workers are located inside the
home only in hot months, they are scout
ants from an external nest.
What Do They Feed On
• Florida carpenter ants tend to forage at
night. The ants form quite loosely defined
trails, or person ants wander alone.
Carpenter ants will also seek out other
insects, both living and dead, for meals.
Carpenter ants have been reported to pray
on grasshoppers, crickets, leafhoppers,
caterpillars and honey bees.
How To Control Them
• There are a number of treatment choices for
the chemical control of carpenter ants.
Carpenter ants are among the top five pest
ants in the US. Cultural management
practices involve utilizing nonchemical
substances to remove or eliminate carpenter
ants from infesting a structure. Florida
carpenter ants treatment involves using
granular baits and injecting nesting sites.
