Ant Treatment & Control
Targeted elimination of indoor ant colonies and outdoor fire ant mounds.
Eliminating the Entire Colony
Ants are the most common household pest in Southwest Florida. Because ant colonies can contain tens of thousands of members and multiple queens, spraying the few ants you see on the counter only forces the colony to split and multiply (a process called "budding"). We use specialized baits that worker ants carry back to the nest, destroying the colony from the inside out.
Ghost Ants & Sugar Ants
Ghost ants have dark heads and translucent bodies, making them hard to see. They frequently nest inside wall voids and behind kitchen cabinets, trailing to water sources. Our interior baiting protocols are specifically formulated to attract these sweet-feeding ants without dispersing them.
Fire Ants
Fire ants pose a serious sting hazard to children and pets in your yard. We provide broadcast bait treatments across your lawn to eliminate existing mounds and prevent new ones from forming, allowing you to enjoy your yard safely.
Carpenter Ants
While they don't eat wood like termites, Florida carpenter ants excavate water-damaged wood to build their nests. We locate the nesting sites, apply direct treatments, and advise on moisture issues contributing to the infestation.
Why Professional Baiting Beats DIY Sprays
Over-the-counter repellents and bug sprays only kill the foragers you see, which account for less than 10% of the entire colony. Even worse, spraying can trigger a stress response where the queen splits the colony into multiple smaller nests, a phenomenon known as "budding." Our non-repellent baits are undetectable to ants, ensuring they carry the active ingredients deep into the nest to achieve total colony collapse.
Frequently Asked Questions
Costs vary depending on the severity of the infestation and property size, but standard ant treatments typically range from $150 to $250. We offer free inspections to provide exact pricing.
Spraying only kills the visible worker ants and often causes the colony to fracture and multiply. Professional baiting is required to carry the treatment back to the queens.
Yes, we use highly targeted, low-toxicity gel baits placed in cracks, crevices, and bait stations that are completely inaccessible to children and pets.
