📝 1. “The Ant Invasion: Why You’re Seeing More Ants in August”

As summer heat peaks in Alabama, ants are becoming more aggressive — and more noticeable. August is prime time for infestations, especially when heavy rains push them indoors. So let's talk about what's coming next month!

Why August Is a Problem:

• Rain disrupts underground colonies, sending ants into your home.

• Sugar trails from outdoor cookouts and kids’ snacks attract them fast.

• Ants thrive in Alabama’s humid, warm climate.

• 
  

What You Can Do:

• Clean up spills and food crumbs immediately.

• Use vinegar spray along baseboards to disrupt scent trails.

• Seal cracks around windows and door frames.

• 
  

When to Call a Pro: If you’re seeing lines of ants daily — especially around sinks, outlets, or baseboards — it’s time to let a licensed professional treat the source and create a barrier to keep them out.
