Services / Ant Control
South Florida ants stay active all year and come inside for food and water. We inspect your home for free, identify the ant, and treat inside and around the foundation.
The ants you see are a small part of the colony, and in South Florida they stay active all year.
The ants on your counter are workers. The nest, where the colony grows, is usually hidden in a wall, under a slab or outside.
Ants follow scent trails to sweets, grease, pet food and water, and more ants follow the same trail.
Carpenter ants nest in damp or damaged wood and hollow it out over time.
Lines of ants along countertops, baseboards, windowsills or walls, following the same path.
Ants gathering at sinks, pet bowls, the pantry or anything sweet left out.
Fine soil or sawdust-like material along baseboards, windows or the foundation.
Flying ants inside the home. They are easy to confuse with termites, so have them identified.
South Florida has many ant species. These three are among the most common in homes, and we treat any ant found inside yours.
Very small, with a dark head and a pale body that makes it hard to see. It follows moisture and sweets.
Leaves small piles of sandy soil where it gets in. Its colonies can be very large.
One of the largest ants in Florida. It nests in damp or damaged wood and is most active at night.
We treat every type of ant we find inside: kitchens, bathrooms, windows, baseboards and wherever else they are active.
Outside, we treat up to 10 feet from the foundation of your home, where ants gather and find their way in.
Every job starts with a free inspection. We identify the ant, follow the trails and find where they are entering, then treat inside and around the foundation.
We identify the ant and follow its trails to find where it is active and how it is getting in. The inspection is free.
Applied around the outside perimeter of your home, and inside where necessary.
Placed in strategic spots inside the house, such as around windows.
When needed, applied around the outside perimeter of your home.
A few habits make your home less attractive to ants. If they are already inside, prevention alone will not remove the colony.
Especially anything sweet or greasy on counters and floors.
Sugar, honey, cereal and pet food are favorite targets.
Many ants follow moisture to sinks, tubs and pipes.
Around windows, doors and where pipes and cables enter the home.
Branches and shrubs that touch the house give ants a bridge inside.
Don’t leave bowls out after meals, and rinse them.

Nothing. The inspection is free.
Every type of ant we find inside your home, including ghost ants, big-headed ants and carpenter ants.
Because the colony is still there. Killing the ants you see does not reach the nest, so new workers follow the same trail. Treatment has to reach where they are active and where they get in.
Food and water. Crumbs, sweets, grease, pet food and leaks all draw them in, and small gaps around windows, doors and pipes let them inside.
Inside your home, wherever ants are active, and outside up to 10 feet from the foundation, where they gather and find their way in.
They are easy to confuse. Termites have straight antennae, a thick waist and two pairs of wings of the same length. Our Termite Control page shows them side by side, or we can identify them during your free inspection.
