The Ants Are Marching…

Did you know that for ants it’s summer year-round in your home? Although the temperatures outside are cold your house offers a warm haven. Our weather is unpredictable, even under the best of circumstances. This time of year it can go from colder to warmer within hours. Keep in mind that even if it’s cold outside the sun can warm up the walls of your home enough to cause the ants to come out. When they realize it’s still cold they will look for a warm place – and that place turns out to be your home!

We have already begun receiving calls about ant activity. If you see ants in your house give Rapid a call or send me a message.
