Why Dover Homes Need Ant Control
Ants are particularly aggressive in Dover due to the combination of high humidity and suburban density, with over 33,000 residents living in close proximity. The city's elevation of just 59 feet and proximity to the Cocheco River mean soils stay damp, attracting ants like pavement ants and carpenter ants to foundations and crawl spaces. This local moisture, paired with mild winters averaging 15°F, allows ant colonies to thrive year-round, making professional intervention essential for Dover homeowners.

Dover Ant Prevention Tips
Seal cracks in your Dover home's foundation and around windows, especially after the freeze-thaw cycles of winter that create new entry points. Keep gutters clean and downspouts directed away from the house to reduce moisture buildup, a key attractant for ants in Dover's humid climate. Store firewood at least 20 feet from your home and off the ground, as Dover's damp conditions make wood piles ideal nesting sites for carpenter ants.
