Carpenter Ants

Carpenter ants (Camponotus sp.) are a genus of ant that includes over 1000 species and are located right across Australia with some species commonly called ‘sugar ants’. Their habit of nesting in timber that has already deteriorated as a result of termites or wood decaying fungi and ejected waste that often resembles wood shavings is regularly enough the cause of a frantic phone call to our office from a concerned homeowner.
