If it feels like ants are suddenly everywhere, you’re not imagining things. Late spring through early summer is peak ant season in Pennsylvania, and the surge is in full swing.
At Ned’s Pest Control, we’re getting more calls than ever for carpenter ants, pavement ants, and odorous house ants—and they’re not just annoying. Left untreated, ants can damage wood, contaminate food, and establish colonies that are tough to eliminate.
As temperatures rise, ants become more active and start foraging aggressively. What starts as a few scout ants in your kitchen often turns into a full infestation seemingly overnight.
Common factors that attract ants include:
Store-bought sprays may kill ants you see, but they rarely eliminate the colony—which is the real source of the problem. In fact, improper treatment can cause ants to “bud off,” creating more satellite nests.
That’s why our team at Ned’s focuses on:
We use a combination of targeted baiting, non-repellent treatments, and integrated pest management techniques to eliminate colonies at the source—while helping prevent future infestations.
Waiting usually makes things worse. If you’re seeing ant trails, wings on windowsills, or suspicious wood shavings, it’s time to act.
