Hello,
suddenly a large number of ants are coming out from a baseboard. They seem to be coming from somewhere beneath the floor.
We have been living in the house since August. Since Friday, numerous ants have appeared in this corner. Last week, we turned on the underfloor heating, but at the same time, the landscaper was working on the terrace and the drainage strip near the roof edge.
Does anyone have experience with this?
We are considering the following possibilities: Either the ants have always been under the floor and are now emerging due to the warmth from the underfloor heating, or the landscaper accidentally damaged the wall during the excavation, providing the ants with an access point, or there was already a crack or hole in the exterior wall from the construction phase, but only now, after the garden was dug up, has an ant colony moved so close to the house that they are using this access.
Of course, we will contact the builder and wait to hear their opinion.
But perhaps someone here has experience with this and can offer tips or ideas about how this could happen.
Thank you very much!
