You wake up without finding ant trails across your kitchen counters. Your pantry stays clean without tiny invaders getting into your food. Your outdoor spaces become enjoyable again without worrying about fire ant stings.
That’s what happens when you get real ant control that targets the source, not just the symptoms. No more wondering if they’ll be back tomorrow. No more frustration with treatments that only work for a few days.
When the colonies are gone, your home feels like yours again. You can relax knowing the problem is solved for good, not just temporarily managed.
We’ve been serving High Point and surrounding Hernando County communities for over 14 years. We’re not a corporate chain—we’re your neighbors who understand what it’s like dealing with Florida’s relentless ant problems.
Our owner answers your calls personally, even on weekends. We know High Point’s active 55+ community values straight answers and reliable service, which is why we offer most quotes right over the phone.
We’re state-certified, BBB accredited, and have earned over 100 five-star reviews from local homeowners who needed real solutions, not temporary fixes.
First, we identify exactly which ant species you’re dealing with. Ghost ants need different treatment than fire ants or carpenter ants. Most companies skip this step, which is why their treatments fail.
Next, we locate the colonies and nesting sites. We don’t just spray what you can see—we target the source using professional baiting systems that worker ants carry back to eliminate the queen and entire colony.
Then we create protective barriers around your property using non-repellent treatments. These prevent new colonies from establishing while the baiting system works to collapse existing ones.
Finally, we monitor and adjust as needed. Ant control isn’t one-and-done in Florida’s climate. We make sure the colonies stay gone and new ones don’t move in.

Your service includes species identification, colony location, targeted baiting systems, and perimeter protection. We handle sugar ant removal, carpenter ant treatment, ghost ant extermination, fire ant yard treatment, and pharaoh ant control.
High Point’s location near golf courses and wooded areas creates perfect conditions for multiple ant species. The community’s irrigation systems and landscaping provide moisture that attracts ants year-round. Your home’s proximity to natural areas means constant pressure from new colonies trying to establish.
We understand High Point’s unique challenges. The warm, humid climate means ant activity never stops. Spring rains drive them indoors. Summer heat sends them seeking water sources. Fall storms create new nesting opportunities. Winter’s mild temperatures keep colonies active when they should be dormant.
That’s why we use ant baiting systems designed for Florida’s conditions, not generic treatments that work elsewhere but fail here.
Those are likely ghost ants or sugar ants, two of Florida’s most persistent indoor species. They’re attracted to microscopic food residue that regular cleaning can’t eliminate—even a few sugar granules or grease film invisible to you can draw them in.
The real problem isn’t what you can see. These ants leave invisible scent trails that guide other workers to food sources. Regular household cleaners don’t remove these chemical highways, so new ants keep following the same paths even after you’ve cleaned.
The colonies are usually nesting in wall voids, under appliances, or in potted plants. Spraying kills the workers you see but doesn’t reach the queen, so new workers just replace them. Professional baiting systems let the workers carry poison back to eliminate the entire colony, including the queen.
Fire ants require specialized treatment because they’re aggressive and their colonies can contain multiple queens spread across large areas. DIY treatments like boiling water only kill surface workers and can actually cause the colony to split and spread.
Professional fire ant control uses targeted baiting systems that worker ants carry back to feed the queens and larvae. The bait is slow-acting, so workers don’t die before sharing it throughout the colony. This eliminates the entire colony structure from the inside out.
Yard treatments also include perimeter protection to prevent new colonies from establishing. Fire ants are territorial, so eliminating existing colonies and maintaining barriers keeps new ones from moving in. Treatment timing is crucial—we apply when fire ants are actively foraging but weather conditions allow proper bait distribution.
Effective outdoor ant control in Florida requires a multi-layered approach because our climate supports year-round ant activity. Single treatments fail because different ant species need different strategies, and new colonies constantly try to establish.
Professional outdoor treatment starts with identifying which species are active around your property. Fire ants need baiting systems, carpenter ants require moisture control and targeted treatments, and sugar ants respond to different bait formulations.
Perimeter treatments create protective barriers using non-repellent products that ants can’t detect. They walk through treated areas and carry the product back to their colonies. This is more effective than repellent sprays that just push ants to untreated areas. Regular monitoring and reapplication maintain protection as weather and seasonal changes create new challenges.
Professional ant mound treatment typically shows initial results within 24-48 hours, with complete colony elimination taking 1-2 weeks depending on the species and colony size. Fire ant mounds may show reduced activity quickly, but eliminating the entire colony takes longer.
The treatment process uses targeted baiting that worker ants carry back to feed the queen and larvae. This is more effective than surface treatments that only kill visible workers. The bait needs time to circulate through the colony and reach all members, including reproductive ants.
Weather affects treatment speed—rain can slow the process by reducing foraging activity, while optimal conditions accelerate results. Professional treatment includes follow-up monitoring to ensure complete elimination and prevent new mounds from forming. Multiple mounds often indicate large colony networks that require comprehensive treatment approaches.
Yes, professional carpenter ant treatment can prevent structural damage, but early intervention is crucial. Carpenter ants don’t eat wood like termites—they excavate galleries for nesting, which can weaken wooden structures over time if left untreated.
Carpenter ant treatment involves locating active galleries, eliminating existing colonies, and addressing moisture issues that attract them. These ants prefer damp or damaged wood, so treatment includes identifying and correcting conditions that make your home attractive to them.
Professional treatment uses targeted baiting and direct application methods to eliminate colonies completely. Surface spraying is ineffective because it doesn’t reach ants deep in wooden structures. We also provide recommendations for moisture control, wood repair, and preventive measures to keep carpenter ants from returning and causing future damage.
Permanent ant prevention focuses on eliminating colonies and preventing new establishment rather than just killing visible ants. Regular pest control often uses surface sprays that provide temporary relief but don’t address the source of the problem.
True prevention involves understanding ant behavior, identifying entry points, eliminating attractants, and maintaining protective barriers. It requires ongoing monitoring because Florida’s climate creates constant pressure from new colonies trying to establish around your property.
Professional prevention programs include quarterly treatments timed to Florida’s ant activity patterns, moisture control recommendations, and exclusion techniques. We adjust strategies based on seasonal changes and emerging ant pressure. This comprehensive approach costs more initially but prevents the recurring treatments and damage that come with temporary solutions.
