Why pavement ant pressure is specific to Beach Grove
Beach Grove pavement-ant pressure benefits from sandy soil — Tetramorium colonies excavate through sand far more easily than through Sunshine Hills' clay. Beach Grove landscape conventions favour flagstone patios, paver walkways, and decorative pebble installations rather than continuous concrete; each joint and gap in these is a candidate colony location. Beach-equipment storage (wet beach towels, kayaks, paddleboards left on patios) creates damp shelter conditions ants exploit. We see particularly heavy pavement-ant activity in homes with outdoor showers — the constant moisture, plus the proximity to patio hardscape, is precisely what Tetramorium colonies want. The smaller scale of Beach Grove cottage architecture means fewer interior establishment events compared to Sunshine Hills' larger homes, but exterior colony density per square metre is higher.
