Does Mulch Promote Ant Over Wintering

Sofar this year, I have no sugar ants invading the house......


However, what has changed is that I have Eliminated all the flowerbeds that were on the side of the house of mulch. This is the only thing that has changed in Fall of 2019


Prior to that, for the last 5-6 years, every spring, when it got warm, we would have sugar ants.....GALORE coming in from certain sections of the house. One year, it would be the east side on the Living Room. Then Maybe next year, it would be from the *second floor bathroom*. He I was going crazy, laying down advion gel, removing wall plates and -dusting-, etc. The sugar ants was bad....


So unless it was just due to the unseasonably warm winter we had this year and they did not feel like over-winter, I must ask. Does mulch on the property side of the house invite ants to over-winter ...
