Moist, damp wood around your home or property attracts carpenter ants. Their colonies contain thousands of ants and, if not controlled, this number may increase to as many as 50,000. Carpenter ants do not eat wood, but they chew it and push it out making room for their nests. You may notice  small piles of sawdust underneath the holes leading to their tunnels. Carpenter ants can inflict a painful bite, but they are mostly harmless to humans.
Preventing carpenter ants from getting inside your home should be a top priority. First, trim shrubs and keep plant growth away from the outer walls of your home. Next, inspect the roof and plumbing for leaks. Check the perimeter of your house to find possible entry points for ants. If you find openings, seal them right away.
Carpenter ants are notoriously difficult for homeowners to track and eliminate. For this reason, reaching out to a professional exterminator remains the best option to get rid of ants and keep damage to a minimum.
