You’ll walk into your kitchen without scanning the counters for ant trails. No more wiping down surfaces twice before cooking or finding ants in your pantry items.
Our targeted ant baiting systems eliminate entire colonies at their source. You get lasting protection that handles Florida’s toughest ant species—from sugar ants clustering around your sink to fire ant mounds threatening your yard safety.
The difference is permanent prevention, not temporary knockdown. You’ll have confidence knowing your home stays protected through Florida’s year-round ant season.
We’ve been protecting Dixie families from ant infestations for years. As a family-run business, you work directly with the owner—not a rotating crew of technicians.
We answer every call personally, even on weekends. Most quotes happen over the phone, so you get fast answers when ants invade your space.
Our 100+ five-star Google reviews reflect our commitment to honest service and real results. We’re not the biggest pest control company in Dixie, but we’re the one that treats your home like our own.
First, we identify which ant species you’re dealing with. Sugar ants need different treatment than carpenter ants or fire ants. Proper identification determines the most effective approach.
Next, we locate entry points and trailing patterns. Ants follow specific paths, and disrupting these routes is crucial for long-term control. We trace their movement back to source areas.
Then we deploy targeted ant baiting systems. Worker ants carry bait back to the colony, eliminating the entire nest—including the queen. This prevents new ants from replacing the ones you see.
Finally, we establish prevention barriers around your property. You get ongoing protection that stops future infestations before they start.

Your ant control service covers all major Florida species. We handle sugar ant removal from kitchens, carpenter ant treatment in structural areas, ghost ant exterminator services, fire ant yard treatment, and pharaoh ant control in sensitive areas.
Dixie’s warm climate means ants stay active year-round. Our treatment plans account for seasonal patterns specific to North Florida, including increased activity during summer months and post-rain surges.
You receive professional ant baiting systems designed for your specific infestation. Each treatment targets the particular ant species invading your space, ensuring maximum effectiveness without unnecessary chemical application.
Tiny ants in your kitchen are usually sugar ants or ghost ants attracted to food residue, moisture, or sweet substances. Even microscopic crumbs or sticky spots on counters can draw entire colonies.
Florida’s humidity makes kitchens especially attractive to these species. They enter through tiny cracks around windows, doors, or plumbing penetrations. Once scout ants find food sources, they leave chemical trails for others to follow.
The sudden appearance often means a nearby colony has grown large enough to expand their foraging range. Professional baiting eliminates the source colony, not just the ants you see marching across your counters.
Fire ant mounds require targeted treatment that eliminates the entire colony, including multiple queens. DIY products typically only kill surface ants, allowing the colony to rebuild elsewhere in your yard.
Professional fire ant yard treatment uses specialized baits that worker ants carry back to the mound. This method reaches deep colony chambers where queens and larvae live. Complete elimination takes 7-14 days as the bait circulates through the colony.
Prevention involves treating your entire property, not just visible mounds. Fire ants establish satellite colonies, so comprehensive coverage prevents new mounds from appearing. Regular monitoring ensures long-term control in Florida’s fire ant-friendly climate.
The most effective outdoor ant control combines targeted baiting systems with perimeter protection barriers. Florida’s diverse ant species require different approaches—fire ants need mound treatment while carpenter ants need structural protection.
Professional outdoor treatment creates defense zones around your home’s foundation, entry points, and landscaping. We use weather-resistant products designed for Florida’s rain and humidity patterns.
Seasonal applications work best because ant activity peaks during different times. Spring treatments target emerging colonies, summer applications handle peak activity, and fall treatments prevent winter establishment. This comprehensive approach keeps your property protected year-round.
Most ant species show significant reduction within 7-14 days after professional treatment. Baiting systems work gradually as worker ants carry poison back to colonies, so you might see initial activity before elimination occurs.
Sugar ants and ghost ants typically respond fastest, often within a week. Carpenter ants and fire ants take longer—up to two weeks—because their colonies are larger and more established.
Complete elimination depends on colony size and species. You’ll notice fewer ants within days, but full results require patience as the treatment reaches entire colonies. Follow-up service ensures any remaining activity gets addressed promptly.
Ant baiting systems provide superior long-term control because they eliminate entire colonies, not just visible ants. Spray treatments kill ants on contact but don’t reach the source—queens and larvae remain protected in nests.
Professional baiting targets ant behavior. Worker ants carry bait back to colonies, spreading elimination throughout the entire population. This method works even when you can’t locate nest sites.
Baiting also reduces chemical exposure around your home. Instead of widespread spraying, targeted bait stations focus treatment where ants actually travel. This approach is safer for families and pets while providing more effective colony elimination.
Carpenter ants require specialized treatment because they nest inside wood structures, not just soil like other species. These ants excavate galleries in wooden beams, potentially causing structural damage over time.
Treatment focuses on locating satellite colonies and parent nests. Carpenter ants often establish multiple nesting sites—some in trees, others in your home’s framework. Effective control requires treating all connected colonies simultaneously.
Professional carpenter ant treatment includes moisture control recommendations. These ants prefer damp wood, so addressing humidity issues prevents future infestations. We inspect structural areas and provide comprehensive elimination that protects your home’s integrity.
