It’s June, and that means it is prime time for ants to move indoors looking for food, water, and shelter!
The type of ants you typically find in your kitchen, bathroom, or other areas with moisture or food crumbs are house ants. These ants are more of a nuisance pest, but they can contaminate surfaces and food if they are not promptly dealt with.
Carpenter ants, on the other hand, are a much bigger concern as they tunnel through wood to build their nest. This tunneling can weaken wood over time and affects everything from window and door frames to beams and joists.
The best preventative measures you can take are to keep counters clean, seal entry points, and reduce moisture.
