Ants

We typically think of ants as tiny and inconsequential; but, in fact, ants are one of the most numerous organisms on the planet. In fact, there are about 1.6 million individual ants per every human on earth, and ants make up 15-20% of the mass of all living organisms.

As the weather continues to warm, our local ants will be out and about, looking for food and water. To keep them from finding their way into your home, make sure to clean up any food that gets spilled (including crumbs), don't leave dirty dishes unwashed for long periods of time, and make sure there isn't any standing water around the house (from a clogged drain or leaky faucet, for example).
