Where do these insects go during winter? Our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/ants\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pest control Wall NJ<\/a> experts want you to know more about how outdoor ants spend the winter months.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Outdoor Temperatures Affect Body Temperature<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When the temperature drops outside in winter, the body temperature of <a href=\"http:\/\/ant.miyakyo-u.ac.jp\/BE\/Kingdom\/5657\/5657e.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ants<\/a> also decreases. This decrease causes ants to become sluggish and not move around much. That\u2019s why you don\u2019t really see any ants crawling around when it gets cold out. So, where do they go when they\u2019re unable to move much?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Warm Winter Habitat<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/blog\/2017\/11\/17\/what-happens-to-ants-in-winter-in-new-jersey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ants<\/a> make sure they find somewhere warm to go before cold weather hits. This might be deep in the soil, tucked away inside their nests for the season. During winter, the entrances to ant nests remain closed, since there\u2019s no movement going on. The ants inside the nest are able to safely spend the winter months in there without food, since they fill up on it during fall. This allows them to go the entire season without searching for any food. In spring, they emerge from their nest again to forage.<\/p>\n<p>If you have ants inside your home this winter, contact <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/contact-us.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Allison Pest Control<\/a> for help.
