You’ll stop seeing ant trails across your counters. No more worrying about fire ant mounds threatening your kids and pets in the yard. No more carpenter ants quietly damaging your home’s structure.
When we’re done, you get your space back. Your kitchen stays clean without constant vigilance. Your family can play outside safely. Your property value stays protected from structural damage.
That’s what professional ant control looks like—results you can see and peace of mind you can feel.
We bring over a decade of hands-on experience to Clay Sink’s unique pest challenges. As a family-owned business, you work directly with the owner—no call centers, no runaround.
We understand Clay County’s riverside humidity and wooded areas create perfect conditions for ants year-round. That’s why we’re available 24/7, even weekends, with most quotes provided over the phone.
Our state-certified technicians know the difference between ghost ants in your kitchen and carpenter ants in your walls. Over 100 five-star Google reviews prove we deliver what we promise.
First, we identify the exact ant species and locate their entry points and nests. Different ants require different approaches—what works for sugar ants won’t eliminate carpenter ant colonies.
Next, we apply targeted treatments that reach the source. We use professional-grade baiting systems that worker ants carry back to the colony, eliminating the queen and entire population. Surface sprays only kill what you see.
Finally, we identify entry points and create protective barriers around your property. We’ll show you the moisture issues and food sources that attracted them initially, so the problem doesn’t return.
You get a follow-up within 24 hours to ensure complete elimination, plus ongoing prevention tips to keep your property ant-free.

Our ant control service covers all species common to Clay Sink: fire ants threatening your yard, ghost ants invading your kitchen, carpenter ants damaging your structure, and pharaoh ants hiding in your walls.
Clay County’s humid climate and proximity to water sources create year-round ant pressure. We address both indoor infestations and outdoor colonies before they migrate inside. Our treatments target specific ant behaviors—protein baits for carpenter ants, sugar baits for ghost ants.
You receive same-day service with transparent pricing quoted over the phone. No hidden fees, no surprise charges. Military families and new homeowners receive special discounts because we believe in supporting our community.
Clay County’s riverside location and humid climate create ideal conditions for ant activity year-round. Ants need three things: food, water, and shelter. Your home provides all three, especially during Florida’s wet season when outdoor colonies seek higher ground.
Common attractants include pet food, spilled drinks, leaky pipes, and cracks around windows. Even microscopic crumbs can sustain entire colonies. The key is eliminating both the attractants and the colonies themselves—surface treatments only address symptoms, not the source.
Professional treatment targets the entire colony structure, including satellite nests that DIY methods typically miss.
Initial ant treatment typically ranges from $150-$300 depending on the species, infestation size, and your home’s square footage. Fire ant yard treatment and carpenter ant structural work may cost more due to the specialized approach required.
We provide most quotes over the phone after discussing your specific situation. No hidden fees or surprise charges—you know the cost upfront. Military families and new homeowners receive special discounts.
Quarterly maintenance plans average $80-$120 per visit and provide the best long-term value, preventing costly re-infestations and structural damage. One-time treatments work for minor issues, but Florida’s climate often requires ongoing protection.
Sugar ants (actually ghost ants) are tiny, fast-moving ants attracted to sweet substances in your kitchen. They have pale legs and dark heads, forming long trails to food sources. They don’t cause structural damage but can contaminate food.
Carpenter ants are much larger, black or red-black, and most active at night. They don’t eat wood but excavate galleries in moist, decaying wood for nesting. They can cause serious structural damage over time, especially in Florida’s humid climate.
Treatment approaches differ completely. Sugar ants respond to sweet baits, while carpenter ants require protein baits and moisture elimination. Misidentification leads to treatment failure—that’s why professional species identification matters.
Yes, fire ants pose genuine safety risks, especially in Clay County where they thrive year-round. Fire ant stings inject venom that causes burning pain, swelling, and pustules. Multiple stings can trigger allergic reactions requiring emergency medical attention.
Children and pets are particularly vulnerable because they’re more likely to disturb mounds accidentally. Fire ants attack aggressively when their colony is threatened, with hundreds swarming within seconds.
Professional fire ant control eliminates entire colonies, including the queen, preventing new mounds from forming. DIY treatments often scatter the colony, making the problem worse and more dangerous.
Most ant species show significant reduction within 24-48 hours of professional treatment. However, complete colony elimination takes 7-14 days as worker ants carry bait back to nests and the active ingredients circulate through the entire population.
We provide same-day service in Clay Sink with follow-up within 24 hours to monitor progress. If you’re still seeing activity after two weeks, we return at no charge—that’s our guarantee.
Emergency situations like fire ant swarms or massive kitchen invasions get immediate response. We’re available 24/7 because ant problems don’t follow business hours, and Clay County’s humid climate can trigger sudden population explosions.
Our treatments are specifically chosen for safety around families and pets. We use targeted baiting systems that ants carry to their nests, minimizing exposure to people and animals. Baits are placed in tamper-resistant stations or applied in areas inaccessible to children and pets.
We avoid broad-spectrum spraying whenever possible, instead using precise applications that target ant trails and entry points. All products are EPA-registered and applied according to strict safety guidelines.
As a family-run business, we understand your concerns. We’ll explain exactly what we’re using, where it’s going, and any precautions needed. Most treatments allow normal household activities immediately after application.
