Winged Ants. Most of our calls about winged ants end up being about Carpenter Ants or Moisture Ants. Both of these ant species produce flying ants in their nests, and both types of winged ants swarm into, onto, and out of homes. If you have flying ants in the spring, April or May, you probably have Carpenter Ants.
Camponotus pennsylvanicus (DeGeer) The black carpenter ant is a common invader of homes in the northeastern United States. In their natural habitat, carpenter ants aid in the decomposition of dead, decaying trees. They normally nest in logs, stumps, and hollow trees. However, the large, dark-colored workers often invade homes in search of food.
