Why Plano homes are vulnerable
Plano’s warm climate and irrigated landscaping create favorable conditions for ant activity. Homes with easy access to moisture or small entry gaps can become especially attractive.
What homeowners can do
Cleaning surfaces, storing food properly, sealing obvious gaps, and reducing excess moisture can all help lower the chances of activity.
When the problem needs more than prevention
If ants keep returning after cleanup and basic prevention, the colony may already be established nearby or inside a wall void.
