Why do ants invade our properties?
Ants usually like outdoors and come into our homes for four reasons:
1. In search of food:
As soon as these pests find a good location to find the food, they will quickly let their friends know and in no time, you will encounter a full-blown ant infestation.
2. To find water or moisture:
Ants, like all other living beings, need water for their survival. However, they do not require large quantities of it. Although some species need to nest close to a reliable source of water, most of these pests fulfill their water need from the food they eat.
You can occasionally encounter ants infestation during dry periods. Additionally, heavy rains can flood their nests, forcing them to relocate their nests to the nearby shelter, which is your property.
3. To find nesting sites:
Ants species, like carpenter ants, build their nests and lay eggs to establish new colonies or expand existing ones inside woos structures.
4. In search of shelter:
During extreme weather conditions like heavy rains, extreme hot or cold, ants may enter your homes in search of a more suitable environment for their colonies.
