As the temperatures rise and flowers bloom across North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia, wildlife activity surges. Spring brings a flurry of animal behavior as creatures emerge from winter dormancy, begin their mating seasons, and search for food and shelter.

The ants go marching ten by ten… cute song. Not so cute when you have an infestation of carpenter ants marching on towards your home - and through it. Ranging from 3.4 to 13 millimeters in length, these are among the biggest ants in the US, and their large mandibles can wreak havoc on structures. What do you need to know about carpenter ants?
As passionate gardeners know, creating a beautiful flower garden takes dedication, patience, and knowledge.
