Pests tend to make a presence during the changing of the seasons, which is why you may notice more ants, spiders, bees and other insects in or around your property during this time of year. Ants are usually one of the first insects homeowners in Idaho notice when the weather warms up. The invasion of ants isn’t something you have to simply accept, though.
