Thats my understanding, but the roof is just 10 years old now, I have not found any wet areas so far, not even any staining. Now I have one old log in the yard I know has these ants in it, and a cut off of an old utility pole, as well, both of those will be on the burn pile as soon as the weather clears. I have a little to trim off one tree near the house, though there are no ants in it. Some overhanging branches to trim back, its an apricot tree, nothing touching though.
I have an area over a sliding door to check, the old kitchen counter/back splash area, but the sill plates, ends of the joists, all dry and well above the grade line around the house. This happened last year for a little while, then they were gone.
In the interim, I put out some Terro bait(s) on the counter, being they are dormant outside, I will try some of that perimeter, (exterior) treatment as well, + getting rid of any and all habitat, like suspect logs and fully process the firewood logs I have stacked up asap, most if not all of those were clear of ants too, logs were clean when I cut the trees down late last September.
Never know, maybe I'll still find a problem somewhere, given the size of the house. Thing that bugs me is that its too cold for them outside, so something has to be going on inside somewhere, I've seen none in any firewood I have brought in, which was split a year ago, mostly covered, and well checked from being dry, it ignites immediately in the stove its so dry.
