Here in New Zealand the virus was eradicated in the winter, then again in the late winter/spring. Did the US and UK control it in their summers?

NZ completely closed the borders. That's a huge factor.

Returning residents bring in covid - they have been allowed back at all stages. Some days there is none, but on most days several cases come into the country. Essential workers are also allowed in, although this has become a political football. For example, a equestrian race track builder was allowed in.
