You shouldn’t have to check every surface for tiny invaders before making breakfast. When we’re done, you’ll walk into your kitchen without scanning countertops for ant trails or worrying about contaminated food.
No more wiping down the same spots three times a day. No more finding ants in your coffee maker or crawling across your cutting board. Your home becomes yours again—clean, comfortable, and ant-free.
The relief hits immediately when you realize you haven’t seen a single ant in weeks, not even the scouts looking for new food sources.
We’ve been solving Pasco County’s toughest ant problems since day one at Around The Clock Pest Service. We’re the family-run business where you work directly with the owner, not some faceless corporation.
George answers his phone 24/7—even weekends. Most quotes happen right over the phone because we know you need answers now, not next week. Our state certifications and over 100 five-star reviews prove we understand Florida’s unique ant challenges.
We’ve seen every species Pasco throws at us: aggressive fire ants in your yard, carpenter ants tunneling through your deck, and those tiny ghost ants that seem to appear from nowhere in your kitchen.
First, we identify exactly which ant species you’re dealing with. Fire ants need different treatment than carpenter ants or ghost ants. Getting this wrong means the problem comes right back.
Next, we trace their trails to find the actual colonies—not just the ants you see marching across your counter. Our targeted baiting systems let worker ants carry treatment directly back to their queens. When the queen dies, the entire colony collapses.
We don’t just spray and leave. We create barriers around your property and monitor results to make sure new colonies can’t establish. You get follow-up service if needed, and we’re always a phone call away.

Pasco County’s warm, humid climate creates perfect conditions for multiple ant species year-round. We handle them all with species-specific treatments that actually work.
Our fire ant yard treatment eliminates those painful mounds threatening your kids and pets. Our carpenter ant treatment stops structural damage before it gets expensive. Our ghost ant exterminator service tackles those nearly invisible kitchen invaders that resist most DIY attempts.
Our sugar ant removal focuses on the sweet-loving species that raid your pantry, while our pharaoh ant control requires specialized techniques since these ants split into new colonies when threatened incorrectly. Each species gets the precise treatment it requires for permanent elimination.
Those tiny ants are likely ghost ants or sugar ants, and cleaning alone won’t stop them. They follow invisible scent trails that regular household cleaners can’t remove—these chemical highways guide other ants straight to your food sources even after you’ve wiped everything down.
The ants you see are just workers. The real problem is the colony hidden in your walls, under your foundation, or in nearby landscaping. Until you eliminate the queen and destroy the colony structure, scout ants will keep finding new ways into your kitchen.
Our professional ant baiting systems let workers carry treatment back to eliminate entire colonies, including queens you’ll never see. That’s why our approach works when surface cleaning fails.
Our fire ant yard treatment targets the mounds and queens simultaneously while protecting your family and pets. We use specialized baiting systems that fire ants carry back to their colonies—this eliminates queens deep underground that direct mound treatments can miss.
Our treatment creates a protective barrier around your property that prevents new colonies from establishing. We time applications when fire ants are most active but before weather conditions like rain can wash away the treatment.
The key is using professional-grade products designed for Florida’s fire ant species. Store-bought treatments often scatter colonies instead of eliminating them, making your problem worse. Our approach collapses entire colonies permanently while keeping your yard safe for family activities.
The best outdoor ant control for Florida homes combines perimeter barrier treatments with targeted colony elimination. We create a protective zone around your foundation that stops ants from entering while simultaneously attacking existing colonies in your landscaping.
Florida’s year-round warm weather means ants stay active when they’d be dormant in other states. Our seasonal approach adjusts for Pasco County’s specific conditions—heavier treatments during rainy months when ants seek higher ground, and maintenance treatments during dry periods.
Our professional ant mound treatment eliminates established colonies in your yard before they spread to neighboring properties. We also address moisture issues and harborage areas that attract ants, creating long-term prevention that keeps your outdoor spaces comfortable and ant-free.
You’ll typically see dramatic reduction in ant activity within 24-48 hours, but complete colony elimination takes 1-2 weeks. This timing is actually good news—it means the treatment is working properly as worker ants carry bait back to eliminate queens and larvae.
Fast-acting treatments that kill ants instantly often fail because they don’t reach the colony source. Our slower-acting baiting systems ensure the entire colony structure collapses, preventing the problem from returning in a few weeks.
Some species like carpenter ants may take slightly longer due to their larger colony size and deeper nesting habits. We monitor progress and provide follow-up treatment if needed to guarantee complete elimination.
Our ant treatments are specifically chosen for their safety profile around families and pets. We use targeted baiting systems and barrier treatments that minimize exposure while maximizing effectiveness against ant colonies.
Professional-grade products are designed to attract ants while being less appealing to children and pets. We place bait stations in protected areas where ants feed but kids and animals can’t access them. Our technicians explain any simple precautions during treatment.
Modern ant control methods are far safer than the broadcast spraying of decades past. We focus on precision application that solves your ant problem without creating health concerns for your family.
DIY ant treatments fail in Florida because our climate creates unique challenges that generic store-bought products can’t handle. Florida’s humidity, year-round warmth, and diverse ant species require targeted approaches that most homeowners don’t have access to.
Many DIY treatments only kill the ants you see, leaving colonies intact to send out new workers. Worse, some treatments actually cause species like pharaoh ants to split into multiple colonies, spreading your problem throughout your home.
Florida ant species have different feeding preferences, nesting habits, and seasonal patterns. What works for fire ants won’t eliminate ghost ants or carpenter ants. Our professional treatment identifies your specific species and uses proven methods that address Florida’s pest challenges effectively.
