You’ll finally sleep well knowing those ant trails are gone for good. No more finding ants in your kitchen every morning or watching your kids avoid playing in the yard because of fire ant mounds.
When we’re done, you get your space back. Your counters stay clean. Your pantry stays protected. Your family can walk barefoot again without worry.
The difference isn’t just fewer ants—it’s peace of mind. You’ll know exactly what species you were dealing with, why they chose your property, and what we did to make sure they don’t come back.
We’ve been protecting Garden Grove, FL families from ant infestations with the kind of personal service you can’t get from the big chains. When you call us, you talk directly to the owner—not a call center.
We’ve earned over 100 five-star reviews because we show up when we say we will, explain exactly what we’re doing, and stand behind our work. Most quotes happen right over the phone, so you’re not waiting days for someone to tell you what you already know—you need those ants gone.
Garden Grove’s warm, humid climate creates perfect conditions for Florida’s most troublesome ant species. We know which ones you’re likely dealing with and exactly how to eliminate them permanently.
First, we identify exactly which ant species invaded your property. Ghost ants need different treatment than fire ants or carpenter ants, and getting this wrong means the problem continues.
Next, we locate the colony source—not just the trails you see. We find where they’re actually nesting and breeding, whether that’s in your walls, under your foundation, or in your yard.
Then we apply targeted treatments that eliminate the entire colony, including the queen. We use professional-grade baiting systems and treatments that worker ants carry back to destroy the source.
Finally, we create a barrier around your property to prevent new colonies from establishing. You get ongoing protection, not just a one-time fix.

Our ant control Garden Grove service covers every species common to Central Florida. Fire ants that create painful stings and dangerous mounds in your yard. Ghost ants (sugar ants) that invade your kitchen in endless trails. Carpenter ants that damage wooden structures in Florida’s humid climate.
Garden Grove’s location in Hernando County means you’re dealing with some of Florida’s most persistent ant species. The warm temperatures and frequent rainfall create ideal breeding conditions year-round. That’s why seasonal treatments often fail—these ants don’t take a break.
We use species-specific baiting systems, targeted liquid treatments, and professional-grade prevention methods. Every treatment is safe for your family and pets but lethal to ant colonies. You get permanent ant prevention, not temporary relief.
Those tiny ants are most likely ghost ants, also called sugar ants, which are extremely common in Garden Grove’s humid climate. They’re attracted to moisture, food crumbs, and sugary substances in your kitchen and bathroom areas.
Ghost ants are only about 1/16 inch long with pale, translucent bodies, making them hard to spot until you have a major infestation. They enter through tiny cracks around windows, doors, and plumbing fixtures that are nearly impossible to identify completely.
The reason they keep coming back is because they leave invisible pheromone trails from food sources to their outdoor nests. Even after you clean, those chemical trails remain and guide more ants inside. Professional treatment eliminates both the indoor ants and the outdoor colony source.
Fire ant yard treatment in Garden Grove requires professional mound treatment and broadcast applications because these aggressive ants build extensive underground colonies. DIY methods like pouring boiling water only kill surface ants while the queen and most of the colony survive underground.
Professional fire ant control uses specialized baits that worker ants carry back to feed the queen and larvae, eliminating the entire colony from within. We also apply targeted mound treatments for immediate knockdown of active colonies.
The key to permanent fire ant prevention is treating your entire property, not just visible mounds. Fire ants establish satellite colonies and can relocate quickly when threatened. Our comprehensive approach eliminates existing colonies and prevents new ones from establishing in your yard.
Carpenter ants and termites cause different types of damage in Garden Grove homes. Carpenter ants excavate galleries in moist, decaying wood to create nesting sites but don’t actually eat the wood. Termites consume wood as their primary food source.
You can identify carpenter ants by their large size (up to 1 inch), narrow waist, and bent antennae. They leave behind sawdust-like debris called frass near their tunneling sites. Termites are smaller, have straight antennae, and leave mud tubes along foundation walls.
Both pests thrive in Florida’s humid climate, but carpenter ants typically target moisture-damaged wood around windows, doors, and roof areas. Professional identification is crucial because treatment methods are completely different, and misidentification leads to continued structural damage.
Most ant control treatments in Garden Grove show significant results within 7-14 days, but complete colony elimination can take 2-4 weeks depending on the species and colony size. You’ll typically see immediate reduction in ant activity, followed by complete elimination as baits reach the queen and larvae.
Ghost ants and pharaoh ants often respond faster because they readily accept baits and have smaller colony structures. Fire ants and carpenter ants may take longer due to their larger, more complex colonies and selective feeding habits.
The timeline also depends on environmental factors like recent rainfall, temperature, and competing food sources. We monitor progress and adjust treatments as needed to ensure complete elimination. Most customers see dramatic improvement within the first week of professional treatment.
Yes, our professional ant control treatments in Garden Grove are specifically chosen for their safety around families and pets while remaining highly effective against ant colonies. We use EPA-approved products applied according to strict label guidelines and state certification requirements.
Baiting systems place active ingredients in tamper-resistant stations that children and pets cannot access. Liquid treatments are applied in targeted areas like cracks and crevices where ants travel but families don’t. We avoid broadcast spraying in living areas.
We always discuss treatment methods before application and provide specific instructions for any temporary precautions. Most treatments allow normal household activities immediately after application. Our state-certified technicians prioritize your family’s safety while ensuring complete ant elimination.
Ant control costs in Garden Grove typically range from $150-$400 for initial treatment, depending on the species, infestation size, and property layout. Most quotes can be provided over the phone after discussing your specific situation and ant activity patterns.
Fire ant yard treatment often costs more due to the specialized baits and multiple mound treatments required. Indoor ant problems like ghost ants or pharaoh ants may require ongoing service to maintain elimination, typically $75-$150 per quarterly visit.
We offer military discounts and special pricing for new homeowners in Garden Grove. The investment in professional treatment is significantly less than the cost of ongoing DIY products that don’t eliminate colonies, plus you avoid potential structural damage from carpenter ants or safety issues from fire ants.
