When the ants come marching into your home, you have a big problem on your hands. Tiny but mighty is how they roll under the direction of their almighty Queen. Working in colonies, ants grab crumbs and run back to their nests, hopefully, before any humans spot them. Identifying common hiding spots in the home is the best prevention and resolution to ant infestations.

Kitchen

Who doesn’t love the kitchen with its alluring smells, the food and drink hidden inside cupboards and the fridge? Ants even know the kitchen is the best room in the house. The pest can often be found marching in succession to grab any crumbs left on the table, invade full trash cans, and slurp up sticky liquids from floors.

Behind Appliances

They can see you, but you can’t see them. Ants hide behind appliances like microwaves, toasters, coffeemakers, and deep fryers since the items conceal them from view after they enjoy the food often left nearby. Do you know what’s going on behind your appliances? Wipe up spills, crumbs, and other messes from behind appliances regularly.

Bathroom

In a recent survey, The National Pest Management Association cited bathrooms as the second-most common place for ants inside of a home.  Ants need the moisture bathrooms provide; they often build nests under sinks or behind walls. Remove sources of excess moisture to reduce the risk of an ant infestation. Southern Pride Pest Control is a full-service pest control company headquartered in Muscle Shoals, AL.
