You shouldn’t have to live with ants marching through your kitchen or worry about carpenter ants damaging your home’s structure. When you call Around The Clock Pest Service, you’re getting more than just a spray treatment – you’re getting a complete solution that targets the source of your ant problem.
Our ant control process eliminates visible ants while destroying the colony at its source. We identify the specific ant species in your Vitis home, locate their nesting sites, and apply targeted treatments that prevent future infestations. You’ll see results within 24-48 hours, and our treatments keep working to protect your home long-term.
No more ant trails on your counters. No more worrying about structural damage. Just a pest-free home where your family can feel comfortable and safe.
We’ve been protecting Hernando County families from ant infestations with personalized, professional service. As a family-run business, you work directly with the owner – not a call center or rotating technicians.
We understand Vitis’s unique ant challenges. Florida’s year-round warm, humid climate creates perfect conditions for sugar ants, carpenter ants, fire ants, and ghost ants to thrive. Unlike national chains, we know exactly which species you’re dealing with and how to eliminate them effectively.
Our state-certified technicians respond 24/7, even on weekends. We provide most quotes over the phone and back every service with our satisfaction guarantee. With over 100 five-star Google reviews, we’ve earned our reputation as Hernando County’s most trusted ant control experts.
Our ant control process starts with a thorough inspection of your Vitis property. We identify the ant species, locate entry points, and trace trails back to nesting sites. This isn’t guesswork – it’s professional pest identification that determines the right treatment approach.
Next, we apply targeted treatments using family-safe products that eliminate both visible ants and the colony. For sugar ant removal, we use specialized baiting systems that worker ants carry back to the nest. Carpenter ant treatment focuses on moisture sources and structural areas. Fire ant yard treatment targets outdoor mounds and prevents new colonies from forming.
We don’t just spray and leave. Our follow-up visits ensure the treatment is working and make adjustments if needed. You’ll receive prevention tips to keep ants from returning, plus our guarantee that if they do come back, so will we – at no extra charge.

Vitis homeowners face multiple ant species that require different treatment approaches. Sugar ants invade kitchens seeking sweets and moisture. Carpenter ants tunnel through wooden structures, causing expensive damage over time. Fire ants create painful stings and aggressive colonies in yards. Ghost ants are nearly invisible but persistent indoor invaders.
Our comprehensive ant control service addresses all these species with targeted treatments. We use professional-grade baiting systems for pharaoh ant control, specialized treatments for carpenter ant infestations, and effective fire ant yard treatments that eliminate entire colonies. Each treatment is customized for your specific ant problem and property needs.
Living in Hernando County means dealing with Florida’s subtropical climate that supports year-round ant activity. Our permanent ant prevention strategies include identifying entry points, eliminating moisture sources, and creating protective barriers around your home. We also provide ongoing maintenance to ensure your ant control remains effective through Florida’s changing seasons.
Tiny ants in your Vitis kitchen are most likely sugar ants (also called ghost ants) that are attracted to food crumbs, spills, and moisture. Florida’s humid climate drives these ants indoors seeking water sources, especially around sinks, dishwashers, and pet food bowls.
These ants follow scent trails left by scout ants, which is why you see them marching in lines to food sources. Even microscopic crumbs or sticky residue on jars can attract entire colonies. The problem gets worse during Florida’s rainy season when outdoor moisture levels push more ants inside.
Professional sugar ant removal involves identifying their entry points, eliminating food sources, and using specialized baiting systems that target the entire colony. DIY sprays only kill visible ants while the nest continues producing more workers.
Permanent fire ant control in Vitis requires targeting the queen and entire colony, not just surface mounds. Fire ants build extensive underground tunnel systems, and disturbing mounds without proper treatment often causes colonies to relocate rather than die.
Professional fire ant yard treatment uses specialized baiting systems and mound injection techniques that reach deep into the colony structure. We apply treatments during optimal weather conditions when worker ants are actively foraging and will carry bait back to the queen.
Florida’s climate allows fire ants to remain active year-round, so prevention involves regular monitoring and treatment of new colonies before they become established. Our fire ant control program includes follow-up visits to ensure complete elimination and prevent recolonization of treated areas.
The best outdoor ant control for Vitis homes combines species identification, targeted treatments, and ongoing prevention. Florida’s diverse ant species require different approaches – fire ants need mound treatments, carpenter ants require moisture control, and sugar ants respond to baiting systems.
Professional outdoor ant control creates protective barriers around your home’s perimeter while eliminating existing colonies. We treat ant trails, identify entry points, and address conditions that attract ants like standing water, mulch piles, and tree branches touching your roof.
Florida’s year-round growing season means consistent ant pressure on your property. Our maintenance program includes quarterly treatments that adapt to seasonal ant activity patterns, ensuring your outdoor spaces remain protected through changing weather conditions and peak ant seasons.
Professional ant mound treatment in Vitis typically shows results within 24-48 hours for surface activity, with complete colony elimination taking 7-14 days. The timeline depends on ant species, colony size, and treatment method used.
Fire ant mounds may show initial die-off quickly, but complete elimination requires time for baits to reach the queen deep in the colony. Carpenter ant treatments work faster on surface workers but need several days to impact the entire nest structure. Sugar ant colonies respond rapidly to professional baiting systems.
Weather conditions affect treatment speed in Florida. High humidity and rain can slow bait acceptance, while dry conditions may accelerate results. Our follow-up visits ensure treatments are working effectively and make adjustments if needed to achieve complete colony elimination.
Professional ant baiting systems we use are designed with pet and child safety as a priority. We use tamper-resistant bait stations that prevent accidental contact while effectively targeting ant colonies.
Our baiting products contain food-grade attractants in concentrations that affect ants but pose minimal risk to larger animals. Bait stations are strategically placed in areas where ants travel but away from normal family activity zones. We provide clear instructions about treated areas and safety precautions.
Florida families can feel confident about our family-safe approach to ant control. We’re licensed by the Florida Department of Agriculture and follow strict safety protocols for residential treatments. Our technicians explain all safety measures and answer any concerns about protecting your loved ones during and after treatment.
Carpenter ant treatment in Vitis requires specialized approaches because these ants excavate wood structures rather than just foraging for food. Unlike sugar ants that respond to baiting, carpenter ants need treatments that target their nesting sites in wooden structures.
Professional carpenter ant treatment involves identifying moisture sources that attract these ants, locating galleries within wooden structures, and applying treatments directly to nesting areas. We inspect areas like window frames, door jambs, and structural beams where carpenter ants commonly establish colonies.
Florida’s humid climate creates ideal conditions for carpenter ant infestations in homes with moisture issues. Our treatment combines immediate colony elimination with moisture control recommendations to prevent future infestations. This comprehensive approach protects your home’s structural integrity while eliminating current ant problems.
