BDN interviews Dill about summertime ant swarms
Jim Dill, a University of Maine Cooperative Extension pest management specialist, spoke with the Bangor Daily News about why people are seeing swarms of ants this summer. According to Dill, members of an ant colony that outgrew its home will seek new places to live. “In a dry year, as long as there is enough food around, they are going to do very well,” Dill said. “And you see more than normal production of ants.” WPFO (Channel 23 in Waterville) shared the BDN story.
