Book Description
The carpenter ant is one of the most common and destructive pests affecting homes and businesses. However, in natural areas, these ants also play an important role in forest ecology: they break down dead wood and are the principal food source of the pileated woodpecker. In the first book devoted entirely to carpenter ants, Laurel D. Hansen and John H. Klotz cover the ants' life history and foraging behavior, then turn to their economic importance. The authors provide a comprehensive overview of carpenter ant ecology, morphology, taxonomy, and distribution as well as a detailed chapter on control and management that will appeal especially to urban pest control programs and pest management officials. Carpenter Ants of the United States and Canada is illustrated with distribution maps, 94 halftones, 52 line drawings, and 24 color plates on a four-page insert.

2 out of 2 found this review helpful
wanted to get information on carpenter ants as they have made many communities around my place...they're everywhere! this book is actually more than i asked for, a lot of information. slightly text bookish, but it is thorough and appears to cover all aspects of the carpenter ant. maybe i will make friends with the hundreds, thousands...millions of my "neighbors". need to read further. p.s. many different types of carpenter ants, and pictures very helpful.
