I think it’s safe to say that spring is ALMOST upon us. Yes, there still are some areas that are heavily affected by snow, ice and cold temperatures, but it’s a fact that the temperatures are looking up now. The sun is out for longer throughout the day and the nights aren’t as cool as they used to be.

I’m also starting to hear birds chirp outside my window now and then in the mornings, and THAT’S a surefire sign that winter is quickly coming to an end. Another sign that the warmer days on near is the appearing of ants in your yard.

Ants are a nuisance for everyone who has encountered the pesky bugs in the spring and summer seasons. If you’re like me, you’ve tried all sorts of store-bought sprays and traps to rid them from your home. Perhaps you’ve even called in the professionals to get the job done — they often guarantee that you’ll never see an ant in the yard, or inside the home, again. However, this idea is wishful thinking.
