Why pavement ant pressure is specific to Crescent Beach
Crescent Beach pavement-ant pressure is dominated by exterior surface activity rather than interior establishment. Sandy coastal soil is excellent pavement-ant habitat — colonies establish under almost any patio paver, walkway concrete, or boardwalk-adjacent hardscape. The boardwalk seafood-restaurant and ice-cream-shop corridor produces baseline food-debris attractants that maintain large active colonies. Cottages with extensive paver patios, outdoor-shower bases, and stone landscape elements typically have multiple colonies on a single property. Interior trails are less common because cottage occupancy is seasonal — foragers don't establish persistent indoor patterns the way they do in continuously-occupied Surrey homes. Vacation-rental owners report ant-on-counter incidents at first occupancy of the season disproportionately often.
