You shouldn’t have to live with ants trailing through your kitchen or worry about painful fire ant stings in your yard. When we eliminate an ant problem, we’re targeting the entire colony—queen, workers, and satellite nests.
That means you get back to enjoying your home without constantly checking counters for tiny invaders or avoiding certain areas of your yard. No more wasted weekends trying DIY solutions that barely work for a few days.
Our approach goes beyond just killing the ants you see. We identify the species, locate their nests, and use targeted treatments that eliminate the source of your problem permanently.
We’ve been protecting families in Drexel, FL and throughout Hernando County with honest, effective pest control. As a family-run business, you work directly with the owner—not a rotating crew of technicians who don’t know your property.
We understand Florida’s unique ant challenges because we’ve been dealing with them for years. From the aggressive fire ants that can send kids and pets to the hospital, to the tiny ghost ants that seem to appear out of nowhere in your kitchen.
Our state certifications and over 100 five-star reviews reflect our commitment to getting it right the first time. When you call, you get a real person who answers 24/7—even on weekends.
First, we identify exactly which ant species you’re dealing with. This matters because fire ants require different treatment than carpenter ants or ghost ants. We inspect your property to locate trails, entry points, and nesting sites.
Next, we apply targeted treatments based on the specific ant species and colony structure. For most infestations, we use professional-grade baiting systems that worker ants carry back to the queen and larvae, eliminating the entire colony from within.
Finally, we create barriers around your property to prevent new colonies from establishing. You’ll know exactly what we’re doing and why—no surprises, no upselling, just transparent service that solves your ant problem for good.

Our ant control service covers all the species that invade Drexel, FL homes and yards. Fire ants get aggressive treatment to eliminate dangerous mounds that threaten your family’s safety. Carpenter ants require specialized techniques to stop wood damage before it becomes expensive structural repair.
Ghost ants and sugar ants—those tiny kitchen invaders—need precision baiting because they’re smart enough to avoid traditional sprays. We use professional-grade gel baits and non-repellent treatments that actually reach the colony.
In Drexel’s humid climate, ant activity happens year-round. That’s why our treatments include both immediate elimination and long-term prevention. We also provide guidance on moisture control and entry point identifying—practical steps that keep new colonies from moving in after we’ve eliminated the current problem.
Those tiny ants are most likely ghost ants or sugar ants, two species that thrive in Florida’s humid climate and are constantly searching for food and moisture. Even the cleanest kitchens have traces of sugar, crumbs, or sticky residue that attract scout ants.
Once a scout finds food, it leaves a chemical trail for other workers to follow—that’s why you suddenly see lines of ants seemingly out of nowhere. These species are particularly challenging because they have multiple satellite colonies and can quickly relocate when threatened.
The key is eliminating the entire colony structure, not just the ants you see. Professional baiting systems allow workers to carry treatment back to queens and larvae, breaking the cycle completely.
Fire ant elimination requires targeting the queen deep in the mound, which DIY treatments rarely reach effectively. These aggressive ants will rebuild quickly if the queen survives, often creating multiple satellite colonies around your property.
Professional fire ant treatment uses specialized baits that worker ants carry throughout the colony system. The treatment works slowly enough that workers don’t recognize it as poison, ensuring it reaches the queen and larvae before the colony can react.
We also treat surrounding areas where new queens might establish colonies. Fire ant prevention includes regular monitoring and barrier treatments, especially during Florida’s swarming seasons when new colonies form most rapidly.
Effective outdoor ant control for Florida homes requires understanding that different species need different approaches. Fire ants need mound treatment and broadcast applications, while carpenter ants require targeting specific nesting areas in wood structures or landscaping.
Professional outdoor treatment creates protective barriers around your home’s perimeter while eliminating existing colonies in your yard. We use weather-resistant products designed for Florida’s intense heat and frequent rain, ensuring treatments remain effective between service visits.
The most important factor is timing and placement. Ants follow specific patterns based on weather, food sources, and nesting requirements. We know where to look and when to treat for maximum effectiveness against each species.
You’ll typically see a significant reduction in ant activity within 24-48 hours, but complete colony elimination takes 1-2 weeks depending on the species and infestation size. This timeline is actually a good sign—it means the treatment is working properly.
Baiting systems need time to circulate through the entire colony structure. Workers must carry the treatment back to queens, larvae, and satellite nests. Faster-acting treatments often just scatter the colony, leading to multiple new infestations around your property.
During the treatment period, you might see increased ant activity initially as workers become more active seeking food. This is normal and indicates the colony is taking the bait. We provide clear expectations and follow-up scheduling to ensure complete elimination.
Our treatments are specifically chosen for safety around families and pets while remaining highly effective against ant colonies. We use targeted baiting systems and precision application methods that minimize exposure while maximizing results.
Professional-grade products have undergone extensive testing for residential use and are applied by state-certified technicians who understand proper placement and dosing. Bait stations are designed to attract ants while preventing access by children and pets.
We always explain safety protocols during treatment and provide specific guidance for your situation. Most treatments allow normal use of treated areas within hours, though we provide detailed instructions for each application to ensure your family’s safety.
Long-term ant prevention combines professional treatment with practical property maintenance. We eliminate current colonies completely, then create protective barriers that prevent new infestations from establishing around your home.
Key prevention factors include moisture control, entry point identifying, and eliminating food sources that attract scout ants. We provide specific recommendations for your property, including landscaping adjustments and maintenance practices that reduce ant attractants.
Regular monitoring and seasonal treatments are often the most cost-effective approach in Florida’s climate. Our ongoing service programs catch new ant activity early, before small problems become major infestations requiring extensive treatment.
