Living in Beacon Square means dealing with Florida’s year-round ant season. We understand the unique challenges of ghost ants in humid bathrooms, fire ants in sandy yards, and carpenter ants in older wooden structures common to our area.
First, we identify exactly which ant species you’re dealing with. Ghost ants need different treatment than carpenter ants, and using the wrong approach just wastes your time and money.
Next, we locate the colony’s source. Most companies spray what they can see and call it done. We find where they’re actually nesting – whether that’s in wall voids, under your foundation, or in that rotting tree stump in your yard.
Then we eliminate the entire colony using targeted baiting systems and barrier treatments. The worker ants carry our treatment back to the nest, reaching the queen and larvae that keep the infestation going. Within days, the entire colony is eliminated.

Our ant control service covers every species common to Beacon Square and the greater Spring Hill area. We eliminate sugar ants and ghost ants that invade kitchens, carpenter ants that damage wooden structures, and fire ants that create dangerous mounds in yards.
Beacon Square’s location in Hernando County puts you right in the path of Florida’s most persistent ant species. The sandy soil is perfect for fire ant colonies, while the humidity draws ghost ants indoors year-round. Older homes in the area often deal with carpenter ants attracted to moisture-damaged wood.
We use professional-grade baiting systems that aren’t available to homeowners, combined with barrier treatments that prevent new colonies from establishing. Every treatment is customized based on the specific ant species, the size of your property, and the severity of the infestation.
Those tiny ants are most likely ghost ants, which are extremely common in Beacon Square homes. They’re attracted to moisture and sweet substances, making kitchens and bathrooms their favorite targets.
Ghost ants are only about 1/16 inch long with pale, almost translucent bodies that make them hard to spot until there’s a full trail. They can squeeze through the tiniest cracks around windows, doors, and plumbing.
The reason they keep coming back is that store-bought sprays only kill the worker ants you can see. The colony with the queen remains hidden in wall voids or outside vegetation, continuously sending out new foragers. Professional baiting systems eliminate the entire colony by targeting the source.
Fire ants require specialized treatment because they’re aggressive and their stings can be dangerous, especially for children and pets. DIY methods often make the problem worse by causing the colony to split and spread.
Professional fire ant treatment involves targeted mound treatments and broadcast baiting that eliminates the entire colony including the queen. We use products specifically designed for fire ants that worker ants carry back to the nest.
The key is treating the entire yard, not just visible mounds. Fire ants often have satellite colonies and can rebuild quickly if any queens survive. Our treatment creates a protective barrier that prevents new colonies from establishing in your yard.
Carpenter ants and termites both damage wood, but they’re completely different pests requiring different treatments. Carpenter ants are large, black ants that excavate galleries in moist or decaying wood but don’t actually eat it.
You’ll often find carpenter ants around areas with moisture problems – leaky pipes, roof damage, or poorly ventilated areas. They leave behind piles of sawdust-like debris called frass. Unlike termites, carpenter ants have a narrow waist and elbowed antennae.
Carpenter ants typically forage at night and can travel up to 300 feet from their nest. They’re often found in kitchens looking for grease and protein sources. Professional treatment involves locating all satellite colonies and using non-repellent treatments that eliminate the entire network.
Most customers see a significant reduction in ant activity within 24-48 hours, but complete elimination typically takes 7-14 days depending on the species and colony size. Ghost ants and sugar ants usually respond faster than carpenter ants.
The timeline depends on how long it takes worker ants to carry the bait back to the colony and share it with other ants and the queen. This delayed action is actually what makes professional baits so effective – the ants don’t realize they’re being eliminated.
You might actually see more ant activity initially as the bait attracts foragers. This is normal and means the treatment is working. Avoid using household sprays during this period as they can interfere with the baiting process and prolong the elimination.
Yes, we use professional products that are specifically designed to be safe around families and pets when applied correctly. Our baiting systems use enclosed stations that prevent access by children and non-target animals.
We follow all EPA guidelines and Florida Department of Agriculture regulations for residential pest control. Most treatments involve placing bait in areas where ants travel but pets and children don’t – like behind appliances, in wall voids, and along baseboards.
After treatment, we provide specific instructions about any precautions to take. Generally, treated areas are safe for normal activity once the product has dried, usually within 2-4 hours. We’re always available to answer questions about safety concerns.
Absolutely. We guarantee complete elimination of the ant colony or we return at no charge to retreat the area. Our guarantee covers the specific ant species we’re treating for a full 90 days after service.
If you see ant activity return within the guarantee period, we’ll come back and assess what’s happening. Sometimes it’s a new colony moving in, sometimes it’s a different species that requires different treatment. Either way, we take care of it.
Our 5-star rating comes from standing behind our work. We’ve been serving Beacon Square families since 2020 because we fix the problem right the first time. If we don’t, we make it right – that’s our commitment to every customer.
