Why do ants keep coming back in my kitchen every spring?
Ants are seasonal foragers, and many species become active in the spring as temperatures rise. They’re attracted to food, water, and shelter in your home, which is why they often return to kitchens. Even if you clean thoroughly, ants can follow scent trails from previous infestations or enter through tiny cracks and gaps. Regular pest control treatments help break these trails and prevent ants from coming back year after year.
