When you inspect your home, you will find that the ants are entering through tiny cracks in the structure. Their exits will often be near water sources like dishwashers and faucets. They also come into your home from windows and doors.

To determine where they’re coming from, first identify which species of ant it is by checking its size (tiny), color (red) and movement (haphazard). Then look for signs of activity such as discarded wings or waste near a potential entryway — like a hole in the wall or floorboards — or an exit point like a drain pipe opening up to their nest below ground level via a crack in your foundation wall below ground level via a crack in the foundation wall. If you see ants coming out through these areas, chances are good that this is how they’re getting inside as well!
