Ants Don’t Eat Wood, So What Do They Eat?

There’s a common misconception in Carlstadt, NJ, that carpenter ants eat wood shavings. This is untrue! Carpenter ants love wood shavings for their nest, but it is not a part of their diet! When they find a nice moist piece of wood, it may look like they are eating it, but really, they are just chewing and pushing out the wood shavings. They do this to make tunnels and passageways for their nests. People frequently group this insect with termites, who do eat wood, because seeing the wood shavings can easily seem like the ants were snacking away!

Carpenter ants and Black ants eat very similar diets! They both have a sweet tooth and go crazy for syrup, honey, jelly, and anything that will give them a sugar high! Ants use their chemosensory when locating food, which is great at picking up the chemicals in sugary treats. Not only do they like sugary food for how light it is, but it also gives ants the energy they need to have another successful day of food hunting.

Both ants enjoy several things outside of sugar-filled foods! Other common foods they enjoy in their diet are aphids, insect eggs, and whatever is the easiest to access for them! While they may have favorites, they take whatever opportunities are placed in front of them. They won’t say no to a meal!

The only time you will see them denying a snack is when certain spices are in play. Specifically black pepper and cayenne pepper! They are so turned off by these spices that people can help keep their homes ant-free by sprinkling them at entry points. It’s more of a preventative measure since it’s not enough to exterminate an infestation within your home.
