will termites go in a trail across the patio or is that ant behavior
Carpenter ants can forage great distances from their nest for food and shelter (200 to 300 feet). When adequate food or shelter is found, these âscout antsâ will provide a scent trail (pheromone trail) back to the main colony, recruit other ants, and follow the provided scent trail back to the source of food or shelter.arpenter ants can forage great distances from their nest for food and shelter (200 to 300 feet).
