Ants.... Why so many this year


As part of an ongoing agreement with a local newspaper, we often are asked to publish answers to questions we get from our customers. We answer these questions in the "Ask an Expert" section of The Daily News Journal. Here's this weeks question

Q. Why does there seem to be more ants this year than in the past.

A. Good question. Summertime has always had an increase in ant activity, and ants have taken over as the number one pest issue in the USA. Summer temperatures cause ant populations to explode.
Ants, along with other insects, are seeking a suitable environment to escape the summer heat. Available food sources and a comfortable climate means that your home has now become a "preferred" environment to the outdoors. Homeowners have found it difficult to control ants on their own. Professionally there are a variety of methods to choose from including baits, gets, contact, and residual insecticides.

  1. Up here in New York we have seen increased populations of Carpenter Ants. This is because of the never ending amount of rain we have recieved. Carpenter ants love mosit conditions.

    Many pests are moisture driven such as spiders, centipedes and termites.

  2. Thank you for shared information

    Your home or business provides the food and shelter pests need to survive.
    Pests can easily enter your home or business through doors and windows that
    are improperly sealed, around pipes and a number of other avenues
