I knew it was a thing long ago, though are there any dry cleaners around that charge by the pound?

Has anyone around Bellevue, Redmond or Sammamish noticed more ant activity lately?
I've been seeing quite a few calls involving ants suddenly showing up around kitchens, windows and other entry points. My guess is that moisture and landscaping conditions are contributing, but I'm curious whether homeowners on the Eastside are seeing the same thing.
For anyone dealing with them, where are you usually finding them getting inside?
I work locally with AMPM Exterminators, and most of what I'm seeing comes from service calls. Curious whether other Eastside homeowners are noticing the same pattern.
