When you put your home on the market, you want buyers strolling in but sometimes, during the hot weather, you find the ants come marching in too and that certainly doesn’t help a potential sale. It may not seem like much of a problem but if you’ve had ants then you know what a headache this can be especially if you have buyers coming into your home daily.

“First of all you have to understand why the ants go on the march, says Steven Coy, President of Happy Pest Control. He explains that ants view your home as a place of refuge. “Inside it’s cooler and the ants associate coolness with a greater probability that there’s moisture there. They don’t understand how we build houses though; we build them to stay dry. So even when it’s air conditioned and freezing it’s still dry as a bone unless you wander into the bathroom or the kitchen where there are sinks,” says Coy.
