ReplyDeleteRain saturates their natural outdoor nests, usually in damp or rotting wood, forcing them to seek drier shelter.
Homes provide dry, protected environments, especially around wooden structures, making them attractive refuges.
Moisture problems or leaks in a house can create ideal conditions for ants to build nests inside.
So, rainy weather pushes carpenter ants indoors as they look for dry, safe places to survive and build their colonies.
