Carpenter Ants vs. Termites: How to Tell Them Apart

Are those large black insects termites or carpenter ants? While they both damage wood, they behave differently and require distinct solutions. Here’s how to identify which pest you’re facing:

  • Waist: Carpenter ants have a narrow, pinched waist, while termites have a thick, broad waist.
  • Antennae: Carpenter ants feature bent (elbowed) antennae; termites’ antennae are straight.
  • Wings: Carpenter ants’ front wings are longer than their back wings; termite wings are all the same length.
  • Feeding Habits: Termites consume wood and leave behind mud tubes; carpenter ants don’t eat wood but hollow it out to build nests.
  • Signs: Carpenter ants leave behind sawdust-like piles called “frass,” whereas termites build mud tubes.
