TL;DR
One Redditor has recently shared an incident she had with her neighbors after they poisoned her tomatoes
Whether you’re a good neighbor, or the neighbor from hell, nobody likes ant infestation. (The question of whether some deserve it more than others is a different thing.) But ant infestations do happen, whether we like it or not.
Remember the last time you saw a handful of them dancing around the cereal box? The chances are they were not the only ones. One of the signs that shows you have an ant infestation is spotting a trail of ants inside your home. Ants will march one behind the other as a result of the pheromone trails they lay down once they have found a reliable food source.
Another sign is spotting piles of ants around your house. You may wonder how it happened that ants found their way into your precious home. Well, if it’s not revenge from the neighbor, which it may well be, the reasons can vary.
It quickly escalated into a full-blown neighbor war where revenge was inevitable
First, it may be food as ants are hungry, tiny creatures, scavenging for food like there’s no tomorrow. As soon as they find a source of nutrition, like countertops and pantries, they are likely to stay there. For a while.
Another reason may be moisture, as some species of ants thrive in damp wood, near cabinets, leaky pipes, and sinks.
Yet another thing you should consider is whether there are any cracks and crevices in your windows and doors. These tiny cracks can look like no big deal to you, but for ants, it’s basically a “Please, make yourselves at home” kind of invitation.
