If ants invaded your house this summer, you’re not alone. Millions of the little insects move inside during Georgia’s hot, dry summer.
They’re just looking for a little water and a little food, said Jacob Holloway, a University of Georgia graduate studying Argentine ants.
That exotic invasive species has taken over much of the southern United States since they arrived with a shipment of Brazilian coffee in the late 19th century.
But rain sometimes drives them indoors, too, said Holloway.
