You shouldn’t have to share your kitchen with uninvited guests. When ants invade your Lake Lindsey home, they’re not just looking for food—they’re setting up permanent residence and bringing their entire colony with them.
Our targeted ant control eliminates the problem at its source. We don’t just kill the ants you see; we eliminate the entire colony using professional baiting systems that worker ants carry directly back to their queens.
Within days of treatment, you’ll notice the difference. No more ant trails across your counters, no more discovering them in your pantry, and no more stress about what’s crawling around your home while you sleep.
Around The Clock Pest Service isn’t just another pest control company. We’re your Lake Lindsey neighbors who understand exactly what you’re dealing with because we live here too.
Owner George Lundin handles every service call personally. When you call us, you’re not talking to a call center—you’re talking directly to the person who will solve your ant problem. We’ve earned our perfect 5-star rating and BBB A+ accreditation by treating every home like it’s our own.
Florida’s year-round warm, humid climate creates perfect conditions for ants to thrive. We’ve been helping Lake Lindsey families reclaim their homes from fire ants, sugar ants, carpenter ants, and every other species that thinks your kitchen is their personal buffet.
Most companies just spray what you can see. We go deeper because surface treatments don’t reach the real problem—the colony itself.
First, we identify exactly which ant species you’re dealing with. Fire ants require different treatment than ghost ants or carpenter ants. Getting this right means the difference between temporary relief and permanent elimination.
Next, we strategically place professional-grade baiting systems along ant trails. Worker ants carry this bait back to their colony, where it spreads to the larvae, workers, and most importantly, the queen. When the queen dies, the entire colony collapses.
We also identify entry points and eliminate the invisible scent trails ants use to navigate. Even after you’ve cleaned up, these chemical highways guide new ants right back to your kitchen. Our treatment removes these trails completely.

Lake Lindsey’s location in central Florida puts you right in fire ant territory. These aggressive ants don’t just bite—they swarm and sting repeatedly, leaving painful, burning welts that can last for days.
Our fire ant yard treatment targets the large dirt mounds these ants build in open areas. We use specialized baiting technology that eliminates entire colonies, not just individual mounds. This prevents new mounds from popping up across your property.
Inside your home, we focus on the species that love Florida kitchens: ghost ants, sugar ants, and pharaoh ants. These tiny invaders slip through the smallest cracks and multiply quickly in our humid climate. Our targeted baiting systems and crack-and-crevice treatments create a barrier that keeps them out for good.
Every treatment comes with our guarantee. If ants return between scheduled services, we come back at no extra charge. We’re available 24/7, including weekends, because ant emergencies don’t wait for business hours.
Those tiny ants are likely ghost ants or pharaoh ants, two species that thrive in Florida’s humid climate. Even after thorough cleaning, ants leave invisible pheromone trails that guide other colony members directly to food sources.
Regular household cleaners don’t remove these chemical highways. The ants you’re seeing are just scouts—the real problem is the colony hidden in your walls, under cabinets, or outside your home. These colonies can contain thousands of ants, which is why killing the ones you see doesn’t solve the problem.
Professional baiting systems work because they trick worker ants into carrying poison back to the entire colony. Within days, the colony collapses from the inside out, eliminating both the ants you see and the thousands you don’t.
Fire ant elimination typically takes 2-4 weeks using professional baiting systems. Unlike contact sprays that only kill individual ants, our baiting technology targets the entire colony structure.
Fire ants are particularly challenging because their colonies can contain up to 40,000 individuals with multiple queens. Surface treatments might eliminate one mound, but the colony simply rebuilds elsewhere on your property. Our broadcast baiting applications cover your entire yard, ensuring all colonies are affected.
The bait works slowly by design. Worker ants must have time to carry it back to the colony and share it with larvae and queens. You’ll notice reduced activity within the first week, with complete elimination typically achieved by week three. We provide follow-up treatments if any new mounds appear.
Absolutely. All our treatments are specifically chosen for their safety around families and pets. We use targeted baiting systems and crack-and-crevice applications that keep active ingredients away from areas where children and pets spend time.
Modern ant baits work at extremely low concentrations—just enough to affect ants, but not enough to harm larger animals. The bait stations we use are designed to be attractive to ants while remaining inaccessible to curious children or pets.
We always explain exactly what we’re using and any simple precautions to take. Most treatments require no special preparation on your part. Our owner, George, has been serving Lake Lindsey families for years and understands that your family’s safety comes first.
“Sugar ants” is actually a catch-all term Florida residents use for several different species that invade kitchens. True sugar ants only exist in Australia—what you’re seeing are likely ghost ants, pharaoh ants, or odorous house ants.
Each species requires different treatment approaches. Ghost ants are tiny with translucent bodies and prefer sweet foods. Pharaoh ants are slightly larger and yellowish, attracted to both sweets and proteins. Odorous house ants release a rotten coconut smell when crushed and form massive cooperative colonies.
Proper identification is crucial because the wrong bait type won’t work. Protein-loving ants won’t touch sugar-based baits, and vice versa. Our experience with Lake Lindsey’s specific ant populations means we know exactly which species you’re dealing with and how to eliminate them permanently.
If ants return after professional treatment, it usually means the original service didn’t target the colony source or used the wrong treatment approach for your specific ant species. Many companies rely on surface sprays that only kill visible ants, leaving the colony intact.
Another common issue is using repellent treatments that actually make the problem worse. When ants encounter repellent chemicals, they scatter and form new colonies throughout your property. Non-repellent baiting systems avoid this problem by allowing ants to carry poison back to their original colony.
At Around The Clock Pest Service, we guarantee our work. If ants return between scheduled services, we come back at no charge. Our baiting systems target entire colonies, not just individual ants, which is why our treatments provide lasting results that cheaper alternatives can’t match.
Carpenter ants are attracted to moisture-damaged wood, making Florida homes particularly vulnerable. Unlike termites, carpenter ants don’t eat wood—they excavate galleries in it to create nests, which can cause significant structural damage over time.
Prevention starts with moisture control. Fix leaky pipes, improve ventilation in crawl spaces, and ensure proper drainage around your foundation. Remove any wood-to-soil contact around your property, such as deck posts that touch the ground directly.
However, if you’re already seeing large black ants around your home, prevention isn’t enough. Carpenter ant colonies can contain thousands of workers spread across multiple satellite nests. Professional treatment using targeted baiting systems and void treatments eliminates the entire colony network, protecting your home’s structural integrity.
