Carpenter Ants are some of the largest ants that you may encounter around your home.  They prefer to create their colonies inside of wood and excavate the wood for nesting space.  Frequently, a colony of Carpenter Ants will leave little piles of sawdust or “frass” beneath areas in which they are actively working as they expand the cavities where they will live and create channels for movement. While they do not actually consume wood as food, they can be a nuisance and eventually cause significant damage. Treatment involves an inspection of all the active areas, as well as the environment around the infested structure, as they can move great distances from the main colony, moving mostly at night.
