Ants are a real headache for Thunder Bay homeowners, especially when spring rolls around and the snow finally melts. Our cold winters might keep ant colonies dormant for months, but the moment temperatures climb in spring, ants in Thunder Bay become super active and start invading homes looking for food and warmth. With Thunder Bay's long frost season followed by that intense spring thaw, conditions are actually pretty ideal for ants to establish themselves near your foundation and under your home. Once ants get going in Thunder Bay, they can spread fast, so it's worth tackling the problem early.
