Moisture problems: Carpenter ants, for example, preferentially settle in damp woods, potentially signaling water damage.
Insufficient cleaning: Their precise path often leads to food residues invisible to the naked eye, nestled in the corners.
Unbalanced ecosystem: the decrease in their natural predators (such as certain insects or small reptiles) may explain their proliferation.
What concrete risks do they represent?
Although generally harmless, some varieties of ants can cause serious problems:
Carpenter ants compromise the integrity of wooden structures by digging their nests in them.
