Ants are usually active during the rainy season and will seek the warm and dry comfort of your home. Usually, ants can invade houses in droves such as a carpenter ant. When the cold arrives and temperatures drop dramatically their movement becomes rather stiff and responds to the cold weather by seeking out warm places such as deep soil or in some instances much. The ants hunker down mostly to maintain their body heat as they huddle protectively around the queen.
