Ants in the garden is seen by most people as a benevolent bounty as ants can do a lot to help plants grow. However, their pros severely outweigh their cons in that they will spend most of their time destroying your garden. There are countless insects on this planet, most yet undiscovered, and all but 3% of them are considered beneficial. That means they help our environment and they don’t bother us. The few and the brave in the 3% are called pests, they harm crops, transmit diseases and parasites and invade our homes and cause endless damage.

Ants are a different case. They are both a beneficial addition to our ecology and a pest that invades homes and spreads disease and, wait for it, ruins crops. So why not just get rid of ants altogether? Well, they do offer us some benefits. They can make the soil more fertile by pooping in it. They aerate it and make it more absorbent so water can feed the plants longer. Many ants are also predators of other insects and will kill and eat more dangerous insects that could harm your garden. However, if you have ants in your garden, especially carpenter ants, then you should be worried because those bad boys are coming for you. They are coming for you and they will not stop until they have destroyed everything you hold dear.
Carpenter ants are the worst of the garden infesters because they won’t stop at the garden. They will destroy the garden and then move on to your house, spreading with winged ants that can form their own colonies in droves and infest a house so quickly and unnoticeable that you are guaranteed to fail to notice them until it’s too late.
So what can you do? You need to be proactive, no not the skin cleanser, you need to take initiative and inspect your house regularly for infestations. You can usually find them by searching for tiny oblong holes in the walls and furniture, beneath the holes, on the floor or pouring out the hole onto the wall is something called frass. Frass is a combination of tiny wood chips like dust, and poop and pieces of dead or disabled ants. You can also look for dead-winged ants around windows and doors and dismembered wings in the same places. If you find those you could be in for a big surprise when you find out you have a massive infestation that could destroy your home.
