Carpenter ants in Iowa are the ants that cause the most damage. Carpenter ants are large and black, sometimes reaching sizes of an inch or more. Baby carpenter ants can have a reddish color but still produce damage to wood. Carpenter ants will establish nests in areas such as: hollow logs, telephone poles, fence posts, or firewood piles. Some homeowners unknowingly bring them into the home on firewood. Carpenter ants usually move into structures to feed and will go back outside to the nest.
