COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - ColoradoDesk -- Unseasonably warm and dry conditions across the Front Range have led to an unexpected surge of ant activity inside Colorado homes. According to OBEX Pest Defense, early ant infestations in Colorado are being reported in record numbers this April — much earlier than typical peak ant season.

Colorado's rapid temperature swings and limited early spring rainfall have created ideal conditions for ants to relocate indoors in search of food and moisture. Typically active during late May through August, ant colonies are now moving ahead of schedule, with sightings increasing in cities such as Brighton, Boulder, Thornton, Fort Collins, and Colorado Springs.

"Homeowners are seeing scout ants in kitchens, around sinks, and along baseboards," says OBEX Pest Defense. "With early ant infestations in Colorado underway, it's important to act quickly before full colonies settle inside walls or under floors."

Unlike seasonal annoyances, early ant activity often signals larger structural infestations if untreated. Colonies grow rapidly in dry, warm conditions — and without early intervention, small spring sightings often become major summer infestations. OBEX recommends immediate perimeter treatments, baiting, and barrier maintenance to stop ants before they can establish long-term nesting sites inside homes.

The professional pest control company also advises against relying solely on over-the-counter sprays or bait traps, noting that many products only target visible ants and fail to eliminate the colony source. Instead, tailored seasonal service plans are being encouraged to prevent escalating problems through spring, summer, and fall.
