It’s spring now, which means warmer days, budding flowers—and the first onslaught of ants. Follow these tips to keep them from taking over your home.
We’re finally starting to move away from that awful transition period when the weather can’t quite decide if it’s winter or spring. Now that warmer days have arrived, we can look forward to budding flowers…and an onslaught of ants.
These predictions are based on forecasts for temperature and moisture. “Most insects don’t like really dry conditions,” says Bentley. They prefer warmer weather, and for the most part they can survive the winter without any issues. So if you’re getting plenty of spring rains, and it’s starting to warm up outside, nature might be setting the stage for everything to come up ant-like in your area.
What makes ants such good invaders? They’re small enough to easily slip inside your house, live in colonies that number in the tens of thousands to the hundreds of thousands, and reproduce quickly. That makes them good at getting in, and hard to kick out. “Unfortunately, our homes are very attractive to ants,” says Bentley. “They provide everything the colony needs to survive.” Your home is a great source of food, water, and shelter. To keep out ants, you need to cut them off from these creature comforts at every turn.

Democrats make surprising inroads in redistricting fightDemocrats braced for disaster when state legislatures began redrawing congressional maps, fearing that Republican dominance of statehouses would tilt power away from them for the next decade. For Democrats, the worst case scenario of losing well over a dozen seats in the U.S. House appears unlikely to happen. After some aggressive map drawing of their own in states with Democratic legislatures, some Democrats predict the typical congressional district will shift from leaning to the right of the national vote to matching it, ending a distortion that gave the GOP a built-in advantage over the past five House elections.
