With everything we put up with during midwestern winters, you’d think we’d at least get a reprieve from kitchen pests. But we don’t. Of course we don’t.

So now we have another thing to blame winter for.
Believe it or not, there’s one upside to the relentlessness of your kitchen ants: they’re predictable.

More importantly, you can stop them the same ways. Here’s everything you need to know to reclaim your kitchen this winter. Don’t give up; spring will come again some day!
