Here are some of the most common ants you may encounter in NJ:

  • Carpenter ants: These are large ants that range from black to reddish-brown in color. They can grow up to half an inch long and have a segmented waist. They are called carpenter ants because they tunnel through wood to create their nests. They can cause structural damage to your home or business if left untreated. They are also attracted to moist and decaying wood, so they may indicate a water leak or rot problem.

They can compete with other ants for food and territory and may sting or bite if provoked.

They can also spread diseases such as salmonella, staphylococcus, and streptococcus.
