Carpenter ants eat honeydew, which is secreted by aphids and scale insects. In homes, they may also eat meats, fats and sweet foods like honey, syrup and jelly.

Even though they don't eat wood, carpenter ants can still cause a lot of damage. If you suspect a carpenter ant infestation, call a pest management professional to discuss your options for control.
