You shouldn’t have to live with ants marching across your kitchen counters or building colonies in your yard. When we’re done, you get your space back—completely.
No more spotting scouts near your pet’s food bowl. No more worrying about painful fire ant stings when your kids play outside. No more carpenter ants quietly damaging your home’s wooden structures.
Our ant control in Brookridge, FL eliminates the entire colony, not just the ants you see. That means real results that last, so you can focus on what matters instead of constantly battling the same pest problem.
Around The Clock Pest Service has been solving ant problems for Brookridge families for over 14 years. We’re not a call center or franchise—you work directly with George, the owner, every step of the way.
We know Brookridge’s ant challenges because we live here too. Florida’s warm, humid climate creates perfect conditions for fire ants, carpenter ants, ghost ants, and other species that love to invade local homes.
Our 5-star rating from 81+ reviews isn’t just about pest control—it’s about treating every client like family. We answer our phone 24/7, provide most quotes over the phone, and respond to every call within 24 hours because your peace of mind matters.
First, we identify the exact ant species you’re dealing with. Fire ants need different treatment than carpenter ants or ghost ants—and generic approaches just waste your time and money.
Next, we locate the source colonies, not just the trails you see. Ants leave invisible scent highways that regular cleaning can’t remove, so we target both the visible problem and the hidden network feeding it.
Then we apply targeted treatments using professional-grade baiting systems. Worker ants carry our treatment directly back to their queens, eliminating entire colonies from the inside out. This approach works faster and lasts longer than surface sprays that only kill individual ants.
We follow up to ensure the treatment worked completely. If ants return, so do we—at no extra charge.

Brookridge homes face unique ant challenges. Fire ants build aggressive colonies in sunny yard areas and deliver painful stings that can be dangerous for children and pets. We eliminate these colonies completely with specialized outdoor treatments.
Ghost ants are nearly transparent and incredibly small, making them hard to spot until they swarm your kitchen or bathroom. These moisture-loving pests need precision treatment that targets their hidden nesting sites behind walls and in tight spaces.
Carpenter ants cause real structural damage by excavating galleries in wood. Unlike termites, they don’t eat wood—but they hollow it out to build their colonies. We locate these hidden galleries and eliminate the entire colony before damage spreads.
Our sugar ant removal targets the sweet-feeding species that contaminate food and multiply quickly. We use professional baiting systems that these ants prefer over your household food sources, eliminating the colony at its source.
Those tiny ants are likely ghost ants, one of the most common household pests in Brookridge and throughout Florida. Ghost ants are attracted to moisture and sweet substances, which is why they show up in kitchens and bathrooms.
They’re nearly transparent and extremely small—only about 1.3mm—so you might not notice them until they find a food source and start swarming. Once they establish a trail, hundreds more follow the invisible scent pathway they leave behind.
Ghost ants nest in wall voids, behind appliances, and in other hidden areas with moisture. Simply cleaning the visible ants won’t solve the problem because the colony remains intact and will keep sending out scouts.
Permanent fire ant control requires eliminating the entire colony, including the queen. Fire ants build large underground colonies that can contain multiple queens and thousands of workers, so surface treatments only provide temporary relief.
We use professional-grade baiting systems specifically designed for fire ants. Worker ants carry the bait back to the colony where it eliminates the queens and brood. This approach takes 7-14 days for complete effectiveness but provides long-lasting results.
Fire ant mounds can extend several feet underground, so simply treating the visible mound won’t reach the entire colony. Our treatment targets the entire network, preventing new mounds from appearing in your yard.
The best outdoor ant control combines targeted baiting with perimeter protection. Different ant species require different approaches—fire ants need specialized outdoor baits, while carpenter ants respond better to treatments that target their wood-nesting behavior.
We create a protective barrier around your home’s foundation and entry points, then use species-specific baiting systems in areas where ants are most active. This dual approach eliminates existing colonies while preventing new infestations.
Florida’s year-round warm weather means ants stay active longer than in other states. Our outdoor treatments account for this extended activity period and provide protection that lasts through seasonal changes and weather patterns.
Most ant treatments show results within 7-10 days, but the timeline depends on the species and colony size. Ghost ants and sugar ants typically respond faster than fire ants or carpenter ants because of their different feeding behaviors and colony structures.
Baiting systems work gradually because worker ants need time to carry the treatment back to their colonies and share it with other members, including the queens. This process ensures complete colony elimination rather than just killing visible ants.
You might see increased ant activity for the first few days as workers bring the bait back to their colonies. This is normal and indicates the treatment is working. Activity decreases significantly within a week as the colony population declines.
Yes, carpenter ants can cause significant structural damage to Brookridge homes, especially in areas with moisture problems. Unlike termites, carpenter ants don’t eat wood—they excavate galleries to create nesting spaces, which weakens wooden structures over time.
Florida carpenter ants prefer damp or rotting wood, so they often target areas around windows, doors, roof lines, and anywhere moisture accumulates. You might notice small piles of sawdust-like debris near wooden structures, which indicates active excavation.
The damage develops slowly but can become extensive if left untreated. Carpenter ants can tunnel through support beams, floor joists, and wall studs. Early treatment prevents minor damage from becoming a major structural issue requiring expensive repairs.
