While termites consume wood for food and typically cause damage faster, carpenter ants excavate wood to build their nests and can still create significant structural issues over time, especially in Peekskill's many older wooden homes. Carpenter ants are actually more common than termites in Westchester County due to our climate. The key difference is that carpenter ants don't eat the wood but hollow it out, often targeting moisture-damaged or decaying wood first, making early detection crucial to prevent costly repairs.
