Why ant’s invasion in summer?
Ants like warmer weather. They thrive in hot weather and their reproduction becomes faster during this season. As they grown in numbers they need more food, thus they forage through your homes to zero on food items they like most. They are miniscule in size but are greater in numbers. Hundreds of thousands of ants form long convoys that function in to and fro manner. You can see ants rushing to get food while ants holding food items in their mouth returning back. They also leave a trail of scent or pheromone for attracting more ants of their nest to join. There are many over the counter products available for ant extermination but they fail in the face of sheer numbers ants can produce. Ants are omnivorous thus eat fruits, honey, other sweet items while tasting on fish, and meats. Whatever crumbs you leave carelessly on your kitchen counters, floor and dining table that is quickly swarmed by ants and carried away.
- Primary reasons for ants leaving their outdoor nests and rushing into the safety of human homes are the flooding of underground nests by rain. The overcrowded underground nests spill over or float in the rain water and they hastily reach to protected shelter that your home readily offers to them.
- Hot summer and rain leave ants with few food resources. Inside your home they will find stack of sacks filled with grain, syrupy sweet food items, pet food, and sugary crumbs left on the floor during eating. Once they are fixed on a spot that has food they will make multiple returns to collect them. They will be in thousands when in action and it can be a horrible experience if you are confronting fire ants and other similar ants that can pack a bite.
- Cracks in your walls, foundations etc are their favorite abodes that they occupy in large group. Managing them would become difficult when you see multiple liens of ants moving around your home walls and floors carrying food items. They will use pipe network and electrical routes to travel invisibly and build nests.
