Introduction

Some of the large logs that are stored in the open weather have been colonized by some perhaps less well-known ants, these are wood ants, carpenters.

This type of ants are specialized in making their nests in wood, belong to the genus Camponotus, which is very diverse and we find them distributed throughout the planet.

It should not be confused either with termites or with wood corks, since these ants are not fed on wood, they simply destroy it to make their nests inside.

They can cause havoc in houses and stores like this.
