We’ve been protecting Shady Hills families from ant infestations with honest, transparent service. As a family-run business, you work directly with the owner—never a subcontractor or sales rep.
George personally handles every service call, bringing years of experience with Florida’s challenging ant species. From ghost ants that seem to appear out of nowhere to aggressive fire ants that make your yard unusable, we know exactly how to eliminate them permanently.
Over 100 five-star Google reviews from your neighbors prove what you can expect: fast response times, effective treatments, and service that treats you like family, not just another appointment.
First, we identify the exact ant species you’re dealing with—sugar ants, carpenter ants, fire ants, or ghost ants—because different species require different treatment approaches. This isn’t guesswork; it’s science-based identification that determines the most effective treatment method.
Next, we target both the ants you see and the colony you don’t. Using professional-grade baiting systems and targeted treatments, we eliminate the entire colony, including the queen. This prevents the endless cycle of ants returning weeks later.
Finally, we create a protective barrier around your property to prevent new colonies from establishing. You’ll receive follow-up service to ensure the treatment remains effective, with direct access to call us anytime if you see any ant activity.

Shady Hills’ warm, humid climate creates perfect conditions for multiple ant species that require specialized treatment approaches. Sugar ant removal focuses on eliminating food sources and colony trails that lead back to your kitchen and pantry areas.
Carpenter ant treatment in Florida addresses both the visible damage and hidden satellite colonies that can compromise your home’s wooden structures. Our fire ant yard treatment eliminates dangerous mounds that pose risks to children and pets playing outdoors.
Ghost ant exterminator services target these nearly invisible pests that seem to appear instantly around water sources. Pharaoh ant control requires professional-grade treatments because these resilient ants survive most DIY approaches. Our permanent ant prevention creates long-term protection specifically designed for Shady Hills’ unique pest pressures.
Those tiny ants are likely sugar ants, and they can detect food residue invisible to the human eye. Even microscopic crumbs or sticky residue from spilled drinks can attract entire colonies.
Sugar ants have incredibly sensitive odor receptors—five times more than other insects—allowing them to find food sources you’d never notice. They’re also attracted to moisture from dishwashers, coffee makers, and even pet water bowls.
The key is eliminating their scent trails with professional treatment, not just cleaning visible areas. Once we break their communication system and eliminate the colony, your kitchen stays ant-free.
Fire ants require a two-pronged approach because disturbing their mounds actually makes the problem worse—they simply relocate and multiply. DIY treatments often scatter the colony rather than eliminate it.
Professional fire ant yard treatment uses specialized baiting systems that worker ants carry back to the queen. This eliminates the entire colony from within, including satellite mounds you may not see.
We also apply targeted mound treatments and create protective barriers to prevent new colonies from establishing. Fire ants can’t be controlled with surface sprays alone—you need to eliminate the queen and reproductive ants to achieve permanent control.
Florida’s year-round warm climate means ants remain active all twelve months, so effective outdoor ant control requires ongoing professional treatment, not seasonal applications.
The most effective approach combines perimeter barrier treatments with targeted baiting systems placed strategically around your property. This creates multiple lines of defense that prevent ants from reaching your home’s foundation.
Professional outdoor ant control also addresses moisture issues and vegetation management that attract ants. We identify and identify entry points, eliminate conducive conditions, and maintain protective barriers that adapt to Florida’s changing weather patterns throughout the year.
Professional ant mound treatment shows initial results within 24-48 hours, but complete colony elimination takes 7-14 days depending on the species and colony size.
You’ll notice reduced ant activity almost immediately as worker ants begin carrying treated bait back to the colony. The treatment works systematically through the colony hierarchy, eventually reaching and eliminating the queen and reproductive ants.
Fire ant mounds may show surface activity for several days as the colony dies from within—this is normal and indicates the treatment is working. Complete elimination occurs when no new mounds appear and existing mounds show no activity for at least two weeks.
Professional carpenter ant treatment actually protects your wood structures by eliminating the ants before they cause significant damage. Our treatments target the ants, not your home’s materials.
Carpenter ants hollow out wood to create nests, causing structural damage similar to termites if left untreated. Professional treatment uses targeted baiting and injection methods that reach hidden galleries without damaging surrounding wood.
We also identify and address moisture issues that attract carpenter ants in the first place—like leaky pipes or poor ventilation. By eliminating both the ants and the conditions that attract them, we prevent future infestations and protect your home’s structural integrity.
Ant baiting systems eliminate entire colonies because worker ants carry the treatment back to areas you can’t reach—including the queen and developing larvae. Sprays only kill the ants you can see.
Professional baiting systems use slow-acting ingredients that allow ants time to share the bait throughout the colony before it takes effect. This ensures complete colony elimination rather than just surface control.
Different ant species prefer different bait types—protein-based for carpenter ants, sugar-based for ghost ants, and specialized formulations for fire ants. Professional baiting systems match the right bait to the specific species, ensuring maximum effectiveness and long-term control.
