Why are ants suddenly taking over your home? Blame the Houston heat.
When temperatures climb into the upper 90s and triple digits across Katy, Cypress, Fulshear, Richmond, and West Houston, ant colonies begin searching for cooler places with reliable moisture.
That often means...
Your kitchen
Bathrooms
Around sinks and plumbing
Pet food bowls
Even inside your walls
Seeing a few ants usually means there are many more nearby. Once scout ants find food or water, they'll leave a scent trail that quickly brings the rest of the colony inside.
You can help prevent an invasion by:
Wiping up crumbs and spills quickly
Keeping food in sealed containers
Fixing dripping faucets and plumbing leaks
Trimming vegetation away from your home's foundation
Scheduling preventative pest service before a small problem becomes a big one
Don't let Houston's summer heat send the ants into your home.
