Habitat

Como plagas
Las hormigas carpinteras dañan las casas al anidar en ellas. Cavarán túneles en la madera para expandir sus espacios de vida y pueden provocar daños estructurales. La infestación en el hogar generalmente es una colonia satélite, con la principal a cien yardas o más en un tocón u otra madera en descomposición. Cuando las colonias comienzan a establecerse en los hogares, pueden comenzar pequeñas (unos pocos cientos de miembros), pero pueden crecer hasta varias decenas de miles. Puede haber 20 o más colonias satélite.
