Why Do Ants Appear During Certain Times of the Year?
Ants are most commonly seen during warmer seasons, particularly from spring to fall. This is primarily because ants are ectothermic creatures, meaning that their body heat is regulated by the external environment. As a result, they are more active and reproduce faster in warm temperatures.
While ants are most common during the warmer months, they do not disappear in the winter. Instead, they retreat underground and decrease their activity levels until temperatures rise again.
What Causes Ant Infestations in Your Home?
Ants can enter homes through the smallest of cracks and once inside, they can be difficult to eliminate. Ants are attracted to homes for a few different reasons; the primary reason is the search for food, with ants being particularly attracted to sweet and greasy items. Any crumbs, spills, dirty dishes, or trash in your home can attract ants and encourage an infestation.
Ants will also invade a home when their outdoor colonies become overcrowded or in response to adverse conditions such as excessive rain, flooding, extreme heat, or cold.
Lastly, some ants (such as carpenter ants) are attracted to areas with moisture and decaying wood, which may be found in homes with leaky gutters or other structural issues.
