You wake up to clean counters. No tiny trails leading to your sugar bowl. No ants crawling across your cutting board while you’re making breakfast.
That’s what happens when you eliminate the entire colony—not just the ants you can see. Our targeted baiting systems reach the nests hidden in your walls, under your floors, and outside your foundation.
Most homeowners try sprays that only kill surface ants. The colony stays intact underground, sending out new scouts within days. We go after the source.
Around The Clock Pest Service has been protecting North Weeki Wachee families for years. As a family-owned business, you work directly with the owner—not a call center or rotating technicians.
We understand Florida’s unique ant challenges because we live here too. From ghost ants in your kitchen to carpenter ants in your attic, we’ve seen what North Weeki Wachee homeowners face daily.
Over 100 five-star Google reviews back up our commitment to honest service and lasting results. We’re BBB accredited with full state certification because your family deserves reliable protection.
First, we identify exactly which ant species you’re dealing with. Ghost ants need different treatment than carpenter ants or fire ants. Getting this right determines everything else.
Next, we locate all nesting sites—the hidden colonies in wall voids, under slabs, and around your property. Most companies miss the satellite nests that keep feeding your ant problem.
Finally, we place targeted baiting systems that worker ants carry back to their queens. This eliminates entire colonies from the inside out. No more endless trails appearing in your kitchen.

Those tiny ants are likely ghost ants, one of the most common species in North Weeki Wachee. They’re attracted to moisture and sweet substances, but cleaning alone won’t stop them.
Ghost ants create multiple nesting sites throughout your home—in wall voids, behind cabinets, even in electrical outlets. When you kill the ants you see, the hidden colonies simply send out more workers.
The key is eliminating the nests themselves using professional baiting systems. Worker ants carry the bait back to their colonies, reaching queens and larvae you can’t see. This stops the cycle at its source instead of just treating symptoms.
Fire ants are aggressive and dangerous, especially around children and pets. DIY treatments often just scatter the colony, making the problem worse.
Professional fire ant control uses targeted mound treatments and broadcast baiting programs. We apply treatments when ants are most active near the surface, ensuring maximum effectiveness.
Our approach eliminates entire colonies including multiple queens. We also create barrier treatments around your property perimeter to prevent new fire ant colonies from establishing. This keeps your yard safe for family activities year-round.
Carpenter ants are larger, typically black or dark brown, and you’ll often see wood shavings near their activity areas. Termites are smaller, lighter colored, and rarely seen in the open.
Carpenter ants don’t eat wood like termites do—they hollow it out to create nesting galleries. They prefer moist, damaged wood and can cause significant structural damage over time.
Both require professional treatment, but the approaches differ completely. Carpenter ant control focuses on locating and treating nesting sites, while termite treatment involves soil applications and monitoring systems. Proper identification is crucial for effective treatment.
Most customers see significant reduction in ant activity within 7-14 days. Complete colony elimination typically takes 2-4 weeks, depending on the species and infestation size.
Baiting systems work gradually by design. Worker ants need time to carry the bait back to their colonies and share it with queens and larvae. Faster-acting treatments often just scatter colonies without eliminating them.
You might see increased ant activity initially as workers take the bait. This is normal and indicates the treatment is working. Within two weeks, you should notice dramatically fewer ants as entire colonies are eliminated.
Yes, our quarterly prevention programs are designed specifically for North Weeki Wachee’s climate and common ant species. Florida’s year-round warmth means ant activity never really stops.
Quarterly treatments maintain protective barriers around your property and address seasonal changes in ant behavior. We adjust our approach based on weather patterns, moisture levels, and peak activity periods for different species.
Prevention is much more cost-effective than treating established infestations. Regular service also includes monitoring for early signs of new colonies, allowing us to address problems before they become major headaches.
Absolutely. We use targeted application methods that minimize exposure while maximizing effectiveness against ants. Our baiting systems are placed in protected stations away from children and pets.
All our treatments are applied according to EPA guidelines and Florida Department of Agriculture regulations. We’re fully licensed and insured, with state certification in safe pesticide application.
We always discuss treatment locations and timing with homeowners to ensure family safety. Most treatments allow normal household activities to resume immediately, with specific guidance provided for any areas requiring temporary restrictions.
