Why Do I Have Ants?

Ants enter homes in search of shelter from weather or to find new sources of food or water. In the hot summer months when ant infestations are the most common, ants typically enter the home in search of water sources. This is the reason ants are commonly found in dishwashers, sinks, showers and around toilets. After finding water, the ants spread out and search for sources of food for the colony. Leaving food containers open and out can lead to an ant infestation. Make sure left overs are thrown away and excess food is picked up off the floor and counters. Taking out the trash more often can also be helpful in reducing ant populations. It is important to stop ants before they establish trails inside your home. Ants are much more difficult to control once they have established themselves.
