While I played with my dogs on the stairs I didn't notice a huge army of red ants swarming, luckily i didn't get any bite. Later that night huge amount of rain went down. But ants advanced harvest didn't even spared my bed which I was lucky to have slept in the living room. Have a nice day

Also, ants don't like cinnamon, or peppermint essential oil.

They are huge advance notice to rain. Once where I lived, I saw an army of black ants marching all at once upwards and the next day huge and long rain periods happened. But during the summer if you see too much in the house they are escaping the hot ground from summer conditions. This is not good as I've noticed in my apt. home on the first floor, they are invading my home and when I eat they appear out of nowhere, so I got ant poison and it's subsiding. I also spray my cinnamon water mixture when I see them trying to parade into my home so they don't make a nest in my home. They are quite a nuisance and should be outside always. I hate roaches too and silverfish, bees, wasps, fly, mosquitoes too. But I like house lizards and daddy long leg spiders for they eat all these nuisance insects that sometimes invade the home.

Hello @oahuwriter What I hate more now is the ticks because it's pestering my dogs. As for my bed I had my bed sheets cleaned already.

@Letranknight2015 Even cockcroaches, if you see them around meaning it will rain.

@JustBhem I do not think so! when the cockroaches come out in quantities it is because they are mating.

Hello @crisma15 they're usually underground, and you need to get rid of their queen and i haven't found one in my life time.

@Letranknight2015 if it is true, I have not seen any and I am afraid to look for it I do not know that I will find sometimes the queen is not an ant.

When my mother saw a lot of ants around she would say that it was going to rain.
