Can ants damage our home and furniture?

 Most would be aware that termite infestation could damage home structure and furniture, where they chew and feed on wood and cellulose as a food source. However, ants and some other pests are also capable of damaging your furniture. Here is a list of wood-damaging pests that can take place in your home:

·         Carpenter ants: They damage wood and furniture in the process of making space within for their harborage and exiting purpose. However, they do not rely on wood as a food source but go for sweets and protein instead.

·         Bark beetles: These are part of the weevil species where they infest trees, logs, timbers, branches and plants.

·         Powder post beetles: Known as woodworms, they are attracted to maple, oak, pine and moist wood. Powder post beetles damage furniture as they feed on the contents before tunneling their way out by making holes on the wood.
