Carpenter Ant
As you know, Ants are social insects. Ants have chewing mouthparts. Usually the mature males and females are winged but the workers are wingless. Queens are larger than the males and workers. Ants eat a wide variety of food, including other insects, seeds, nectar, meats, fats, sugars and honeydew. In Alberta Carpenter, Little Black, Pharaoh, Cornfield, Odorous and Thatching ants are prevalent in structures. Carpenter Ant; Carpenter ants are the only ants that could damage structures. Another prominent characteristic is their size when compared to other structural ants, ranging from 6 to 13 mm in size and dark brown or black in color. Carpenter ants survive while feeding on dead and living insects, plants or fruit juices, aphids, or other insects' honeydew. Their nesting site is dead wood, on which they excavate and burrow for nesting but do not consume wood. Their main nest is mainly outside of the home, which is called a satellite nest, in a tree stump, wooden fence, dead tree, firewood pile in the backyard, or any wood touching ground on moist soil. During hot and dry days or if disturbed at their main nest, carpenter ants may enter a home or property in search of food. Fine dust that is expelled from the nest will indicate the location. Little Black Ant ; These ants are smaller than carpenter ants in size, jet black in color and generally you can find them under rocks or free of vegetation. Mainly they feed on sweet liquids excreted by other insects like aphids and may enter building in search of food. Pharaoh Ant; This is the smallest in size of all structural ants, ranging 1.5 to 2mm, pale yellow to red in color, shining dark abdomen especially at the end. This ant active year around and once established nesting in the building, difficult to control. Pharaoh ant prefer warmer and humid places. Pharaoh ants colonies are very mobile; workers, along with larvae, pupae, and even a few queens, may move to new locations if disturbed or if colony becomes too large.

Being a social insect therefore ants live in a colony, like wasps and termites. All ants’ colonies have one or more Queens and the rest of the population consist of Male workers and Female workers (female ants, not capable of producing eggs or new generation). The queen's primary role is to lay eggs and live months or years; even up to 10 years of some species. As usual male role is only matting and fertilization of queen and after matting male worker dies as he lives for a few weeks. Female (unsterilized females) workers' only role is gather food and store food, build tunnels, defend the colony; feed, groom, transport, and protect larvae.
This depends on ants species, carpenter ants enter for food basically, and once a continuous chain is developed or if a suitable wood spot is located they build a nest inside the home. Pharaoh ants always live inside and are active year around under warm and humid conditions. Pavement ants and little black ants seldom enter homes, except during dry and hot weather in search of shelter primarily. In Alberta the rest of ant species do not enter home, except in certain conditions, mainly due to home wilderness.
Once a foraging ant has found suitable food inside your home, they will communicate this to other foragers, usually through a trail pheromone.
They prefer damp areas and may construct their nests anywhere in properties including walls, ceilings, attics, doors, window sills, shingles and insulation.
Although they have chewing mouthparts, only black carpenter ant can bite and also can carry the germs of diseases from one area to another.
Their active period is from February to September, except pharaoh ants which are active throughout the year in structure.
