\"Ants
Ants Actions Correlate with Weather. When it’s Wet Outside, you May get Some Unwelcome Visitors!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Many species of ants in NJ do just fine living outdoors and building nests in the ground or in other areas outside. However, rainy weather can force these pests to enter residential buildings. Find out more about the connection between an increase in rainy weather and a higher chance of having an indoor ant problem for our Monmouth County pest control<\/a> technicians to handle.<\/p>\n

Warmth and Shelter<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rainy weather during fall can end up destroying ant nests in the ground. In some cases, heavy rains can flood tunnels that ants<\/a> have built in their colonies, which causes them to look elsewhere for a warm, dry place to stay during the winter months. One of the easiest places for ants to go is inside homes, since they can fit through even the smallest gaps and other openings in a home\u2019s exterior.<\/p>\n

Food Sources<\/strong><\/p>\n

An increase in rain can also make it harder for ants<\/a> to find food in their usual outdoor spots. When ants have difficulty locating food, they tend to head indoors where they can easily find crumbs and other food sources in kitchens, cupboards and pantries. If they find plenty of food sources, they\u2019re likely to settle in.<\/p>\n

If you have an ant problem this winter, you can count on our Monmouth County pest control technicians for help. Call Allison Pest Control<\/a> to get more information on our services for NJ homeowners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
