Warmer Weather Means Ant Season in Northern Kentucky – Here’s How to Stay Ahead
As Northern Kentucky slowly starts to thaw out from winter, we all know what’s coming next—ants. It may not feel like spring just yet, but these persistent pests are already preparing to make their way into homes across the region. At Snowball Pest Control, we believe in getting ahead of the problem before it becomes a full-blown infestation.
Why Do Ants Show Up in Spring?
Ants become more active as temperatures rise, searching for food, water, and shelter. Your kitchen, pantry, or even pet food bowl can be a beacon for an ant colony looking to expand. Once they find a reliable food source, it doesn’t take long before they start showing up in lines along your floors, countertops, and even walls.
How to Keep Ants Out of Your Home
If you want to prevent an infestation before it starts, here are a few proactive steps you can take:
- Seal up entry points – Check for cracks around windows, doors, and foundations. Caulk any gaps or crevices ants could use to enter.
- Keep surfaces clean – Wipe down counters and sweep floors regularly to eliminate crumbs and sticky residues.
- Store food securely – Use airtight containers for pantry items and don’t leave pet food out overnight.
- Take out the trash – Make sure your garbage cans have tight-fitting lids and are emptied regularly.
- Fix leaks – Ants are drawn to moisture. Repair any leaking pipes or faucets, especially in kitchens and bathrooms.
