You’ll stop seeing ant trails across your counters within days. No more finding them in your pantry, crawling around your bathroom, or marching through your living spaces.
The sugar ants, ghost ants, and carpenter ants that have been driving you crazy will be gone—and they’ll stay gone. You won’t have to worry about them coming back next week or next month because we eliminate the entire colony, not just the ants you see.
Your family can eat, cook, and live comfortably again without constantly checking for ants or wondering what they’ve gotten into.
Around The Clock Pest Service has been protecting North Brooksville families from ant infestations for over 14 years. We’re not some big corporate chain—we’re your neighbors, and when you call, you talk directly to the owner.
George and Mary have built our reputation on honest communication and results that actually last. We understand the specific ant problems North Brooksville homeowners face because we live here too.
With a perfect 5-star rating from 81 customers and BBB accreditation, we’ve proven we can handle whatever ant species is invading your home—from the tiny ghost ants in your kitchen to the aggressive fire ants in your yard.
First, we identify exactly which ant species you’re dealing with. Ghost ants need different treatment than carpenter ants or fire ants—and using the wrong approach just wastes your time and money.
Next, we place strategic baiting systems that worker ants carry back to their colonies. These aren’t the store-bought baits that kill ants too quickly. Our professional-grade baits work slowly, giving ants time to share them with the entire colony, including the queens.
We also eliminate the invisible scent trails ants use to navigate, so new scouts can’t find their way back to your home. Within days, you’ll see the difference. Within weeks, the entire infestation is gone.

Our ant control North Brooksville service covers every species that invades local homes. We handle the tiny ghost ants that seem to appear from nowhere in your kitchen, the carpenter ants that can damage wooden structures, and the painful fire ants that create mounds in your yard.
North Brooksville’s warm, humid climate means ants stay active year-round. That’s why we don’t just eliminate current infestations—we create barriers that prevent new colonies from establishing themselves on your property.
You get targeted treatments for indoor and outdoor ant problems, follow-up visits to ensure complete elimination, and ongoing prevention that keeps your home ant-free. We also identify entry points and eliminate moisture sources that attract ants in the first place.
Those tiny ants are most likely ghost ants, which are extremely common in North Brooksville kitchens. They’re attracted to moisture, sugary spills, and food crumbs—and they’re small enough to squeeze through the tiniest cracks around windows, doors, and plumbing.
Ghost ants create invisible scent trails from their outdoor nests to your food sources. Once they find something appealing, they’ll keep coming back until the entire colony is eliminated. Regular cleaning won’t stop them because you can’t see or remove their chemical highways with household cleaners.
The key is using professional baiting systems that target the entire colony structure, not just the ants you see foraging in your kitchen.
Fire ant control requires a different approach than indoor ant problems because fire ants live in large, visible mounds and can be dangerous to disturb. DIY treatments often make the problem worse by causing colonies to split and spread.
Professional fire ant treatment involves broadcast baiting applications that worker ants carry back to their mounds. These slow-acting baits contain insect growth regulators that disrupt the entire colony’s life cycle, eventually eliminating the queen and all workers.
We also apply barrier treatments around your home’s perimeter to prevent new fire ant colonies from establishing themselves in your yard. This combination approach eliminates existing mounds and prevents future infestations.
The most effective outdoor ant control combines targeted baiting systems with perimeter barrier treatments. Different ant species require different approaches—fire ants need broadcast granular baits, while carpenter ants respond better to gel baits placed near their trails.
Florida’s year-round warm weather means ant colonies never go dormant, so outdoor treatments need to be designed for continuous protection. We use professional-grade products that maintain their effectiveness despite humidity and rainfall.
The key is identifying all the ant species on your property and treating each one appropriately. A single treatment approach won’t work because ghost ants, carpenter ants, and fire ants all have different behaviors and food preferences.
Professional ant control typically provides 3-6 months of protection, but this depends on the severity of your infestation and the ant species involved. Ghost ant colonies can be eliminated within 2-3 weeks, while carpenter ant infestations may take longer due to their satellite colony structure.
The key difference between professional and DIY treatment is that we eliminate entire colonies, not just visible ants. This means you won’t see them return in a few days or weeks like you would with store-bought sprays.
We also provide follow-up services to ensure complete elimination and can set up ongoing prevention programs that keep your home ant-free year-round. Most North Brooksville homeowners find quarterly treatments provide excellent long-term protection.
Professional ant baiting systems are specifically designed to be safe around families and pets when applied correctly. The bait stations we use are tamper-resistant and placed in areas where children and pets can’t access them.
The active ingredients in professional baits are used in much smaller concentrations than DIY products, and they’re formulated to be attractive only to ants. We also use non-repellent treatments that don’t create harmful residues on surfaces your family uses.
During treatment, we’ll explain exactly what we’re using and any simple precautions to take. Most modern ant control methods pose minimal risk to humans and animals while being highly effective against ant colonies.
Carpenter ants require specialized treatment because they nest inside wooden structures and often have multiple satellite colonies. Unlike other ants that just forage for food, carpenter ants can actually damage your home by excavating galleries in wood.
Finding carpenter ant nests requires expertise because they’re often hidden behind walls, in attics, or under floors. We use specialized detection methods to locate primary and satellite colonies, then apply targeted treatments directly to these nesting sites.
Carpenter ant treatment also involves addressing moisture problems that attract them in the first place. These ants prefer damp, damaged wood, so we identify and recommend repairs for leaky pipes, roof damage, or other moisture sources that make your home appealing to carpenter ants.
