Ants aren’t just hungry; they’re weather-obsessed. After a heavy rain, their underground homes flood, so they head for higher ground—your kitchen. And when it’s scorching hot, they come inside for a sip of your neglected water glass. One study found that ant colonies can send out hundreds of scouts per day when conditions get bad.
Think of it like this: if your house flooded, you’d also climb into the nearest dry, snack-filled structure. You’d just do it without the twitchy antennae and tiny hats (I assume).
