My Home is Clean. Why are There Ants in My Home?

While it is easy to assume that ants only enter dirty homes, that is not always the case. You may have ants in your home when it is clean for many different reasons. If your neighbor has an ant problem, there is a chance they will migrate to look for more food. Ants also do not only enter homes to find a food source. They also need water. A leaking pipe or faucet may provide the sufficient amount of water they need to survive. Ants also enter homes looking for shelter, particularly when the outside climate is extremely hot or cold.
