My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Is this a carpenter ant?

8 years ago
last modified: 8 years ago

This looks similar to a carpenter ant but I’ve only seen them black. It was in my house climbing a wall. Should I be worriEd or on alert for a colony or is this a harmless ant? Thank you
