Around this time of the year, every year, the ants take over. These are Allegheny Mound Ants. Near the road, they build three-foot high mounds. In the woods, they find rotting wood and set-up shop. By the zillions. If you disturb their nest, they come out to defend it in a frenzy. They’ll crawl up your legs and start biting. (Check-out the video below!)
This is all very fascinating--until they find their way inside the cabin. By the zillions. Last weekend, they crawled all over the house and found little cracks to invade OUR nest. We vacuumed several times a day, sucking up hundreds of dead ants at a time. Help! How can we stop the ant invasion?
