Your ant elimination starts with accurate identification. We inspect your property to determine exactly which species you’re dealing with – fire ants, ghost ants, carpenter ants, or others – because different species require different approaches.
Next comes targeted treatment. We place professional-grade baiting systems and apply treatments that eliminate the entire colony, not just the workers you see. Our methods are family-friendly but deadly effective against ants.
Finally, we establish prevention barriers around your property. This includes identifying entry points, treating potential nesting areas, and creating protective zones that keep new colonies from establishing. You get ongoing protection that prevents future infestations, not just a temporary fix that wears off in a few weeks.

Odessa’s humid climate attracts multiple ant species year-round. Fire ants build painful mounds in your yard and deliver stings that cause welts and allergic reactions. Ghost ants invade your kitchen in massive numbers, contaminating food and proving nearly impossible to eliminate with store-bought sprays.
Carpenter ants tunnel through your home’s wooden structures, causing thousands in damage if left untreated. Sugar ants create persistent trails from outdoor colonies to indoor food sources. Each species requires specific treatment methods – which is why accurate identification matters.
Our comprehensive ant control covers all common Florida species with treatments designed for Odessa’s specific climate and soil conditions. You get species-specific solutions that eliminate current infestations and prevent future problems, backed by our guarantee and ongoing monitoring.
Those tiny ants are likely ghost ants, one of Florida’s most persistent indoor species. They’re attracted to moisture and food residue that regular cleaning can’t eliminate – things like grease buildup behind appliances or humidity around pipes.
Ghost ants also establish multiple satellite colonies, so killing the ants you see doesn’t eliminate the source. The colony could be nesting in your walls, under your foundation, or in outdoor mulch beds while sending workers into your kitchen.
Professional baiting systems target the entire colony structure, including queens and satellite nests. We also identify and identify the entry points these tiny ants use to access your home, creating a comprehensive barrier that stops the invasion permanently.
Fire ant stings cause immediate burning pain followed by itchy pustules that can last for weeks. Children and pets are especially vulnerable because they’re more likely to disturb fire ant mounds during outdoor play.
Multiple stings can trigger serious allergic reactions requiring emergency medical treatment. Even single stings cause significant discomfort and can become infected if scratched. Fire ants are also highly aggressive – they swarm and attack anything that threatens their colony.
Our fire ant treatment eliminates entire colonies using targeted baiting systems that worker ants carry back to the queen. This approach is safer than mound drenching because it doesn’t scatter the colony or create defensive swarming behavior that increases sting risk.
Yes, carpenter ants excavate galleries in wooden structures to create nesting space. Unlike termites, they don’t eat wood, but they hollow it out extensively, weakening structural integrity over time.
They prefer moist, damaged wood around windows, doors, roof lines, and plumbing areas. In Florida’s humid climate, carpenter ants can cause thousands of dollars in damage before homeowners notice the problem. Signs include small piles of sawdust, faint rustling sounds in walls, and seeing large black ants inside your home.
Early intervention is crucial because carpenter ant damage compounds over time. Our treatment locates and eliminates all satellite colonies while addressing the moisture conditions that attract them to your property in the first place.
Store-bought sprays only kill the worker ants you can see – they don’t reach the colony or eliminate the queen. Within days, new workers replace the dead ones, and your ant problem returns stronger than before.
Many retail sprays also contain repellent ingredients that cause ant colonies to split and relocate rather than die. This creates multiple smaller infestations throughout your property instead of solving the original problem.
Professional treatments use non-repellent products and targeted baiting systems that worker ants carry back to the colony. This approach eliminates the entire social structure, including queens and larvae, preventing new generations from emerging and ensuring permanent results.
You’ll notice reduced ant activity within 24-48 hours as our treatments begin affecting the colony. Complete elimination typically takes 7-14 days as baited workers return to the nest and distribute the treatment throughout the entire social structure.
The timeline depends on the ant species and colony size. Fire ants and ghost ants usually respond within a week, while carpenter ant colonies may take slightly longer due to their complex satellite nest structures.
We schedule follow-up inspections to monitor progress and apply additional treatments if needed. Our goal is complete elimination, not just reduction, so we continue working until your ant problem is permanently solved.
Yes, we guarantee our ant control results with ongoing monitoring and retreatment if needed. As a family-owned business, our reputation depends on solving your problem completely, not just collecting payment and disappearing.
If ants return within our warranty period, we return at no additional charge to reassess and retreat the affected areas. We also provide guidance on preventing future infestations through proper moisture control and exclusion methods.
Our guarantee is backed by over 100 five-star Google reviews from satisfied Odessa area customers. When you work with Around The Clock Pest Service, you get results that last, not temporary fixes that fail after a few weeks.
