Ants in the House? Here’s Why New England Sees a Surge Every June

Summer in New England brings longer days, warmer weather, and—unfortunately—a sudden spike in ant activity. Whether it’s trails in your kitchen or piles of sawdust in your shed, ants are one of the most common summer invaders in the region.

At Ultra Safe Pest Management, we help homeowners and businesses tackle a wide range of ant species using eco-conscious, targeted solutions that work with the local environment.

 


Why Now? Understanding Ant Behavior in June

Ants become highly active as soon as soil temperatures warm up—usually around late May into June across Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and surrounding areas.

This time of year, we frequently see:

  • Carpenter ants tunneling into wood structures
  • Odorous house ants trailing into kitchens
  • Pavement ants building nests in foundation cracks

They enter homes looking for food, water, and nesting sites, and once they’re in, they don’t leave on their own.

 


Don’t Spray and Pray

One of the most common mistakes we see? Homeowners using generic sprays that scatter the ants—but don’t kill the queen or colony.

Our licensed team specializes in:

  • Correct species identification
  • Non-invasive detection methods
  • Eco-safe baits and perimeter treatments
  • Structural inspections for carpenter ant activity
