Fall in the Pacific Northwest brings ants like odorous house ants and carpenter ants into homes, seeking warmth and food as outdoor sources dwindle. AAA Pest Control explains why ant invasions spike in autumn and offers practical tips to keep your kitchen pest-free.
Why Ants in Fall?: Cooler weather pushes ants indoors, especially to kitchens with crumbs or sugary spills. Carpenter ants, common in the Puget Sound, nest in damp wood, while tiny odorous house ants target pantries. Colonies grow rapidly, making early action critical.
Prevention Tips:
- Wipe surfaces with vinegar to disrupt ant trails.
- Store sweets and proteins in sealed containers.
- Fix leaky pipes to reduce moisture attracting carpenter ants.
- Seal cracks around windows and baseboards.
