You wake up to clean counters. No more tiny invaders marching across your kitchen or bathroom. No more wondering if that crumb you missed will bring back the whole colony.
That’s what happens when ant control actually targets the source. Most treatments only kill the ants you see, leaving hidden nests to send out new workers within days. We eliminate entire colonies—queens, workers, and satellite nests—so you get lasting relief.
Your time is worth more than constantly wiping down ant trails. Professional ant control means you can focus on what matters, knowing your Tommytown home stays protected year-round.
We’ve been protecting Tommytown and Hernando County families since 2020. As a family-run business, you work directly with the owner—not a call center or rotating technicians.
George answers his phone 24/7, provides most quotes over the phone, and shows up when he says he will. With state certifications and over 100 five-star reviews, he knows Florida’s ant species and exactly how to eliminate them from your property.
Local families trust us because we treat every home like our own. When you call, you’re getting honest advice, transparent pricing, and solutions that actually work in Florida’s challenging climate.
First, we identify exactly which ant species you’re dealing with. Ghost ants, fire ants, and carpenter ants all require different approaches, and misidentification is why most treatments fail.
Next, we locate the actual nests—not just the trails you see. Ants often nest in wall voids, under foundations, or in mulch beds. We use professional-grade baits and treatments that worker ants carry back to eliminate entire colonies, including queens.
Finally, we establish prevention barriers around your property. This keeps new colonies from establishing and protects your home long-term. You’ll see immediate results, with full elimination typically within 7-14 days depending on the species and infestation size.

Florida’s year-round warmth means ants never really go dormant in Tommytown. Sugar ants and ghost ants invade kitchens and bathrooms seeking moisture and sweet residues. Fire ants build painful mounds in yards and can be dangerous for children and pets. Carpenter ants tunnel through damp wood, potentially causing structural damage over time.
Each species requires targeted treatment. Ghost ants split into multiple small nests when threatened, so repellent sprays often make the problem worse. Fire ants need specialized baits that work in Florida’s sandy soil. Carpenter ants require both nest elimination and moisture control to prevent re-infestation.
We handle all common Tommytown ant species with the right approach for each. Our treatments are safe around families and pets, work in Florida’s humid climate, and provide the lasting protection your home deserves.
Those tiny ants are likely ghost ants or sugar ants, and spraying actually makes the problem worse. When you spray visible workers, the colony feels threatened and splits into multiple smaller nests throughout your home—a process called “budding.”
The ants you see are just foragers. The real problem is the hidden colonies in your wall voids, baseboards, or potted plants. Professional ant baits work because worker ants carry the treatment back to eliminate entire colonies, including queens and larvae.
This is why DIY sprays provide only temporary relief while professional treatment eliminates the source for lasting results.
You’ll typically see a significant reduction in ant activity within 24-48 hours, with complete elimination in 7-14 days depending on the species and colony size. Ghost ants and sugar ants usually respond faster than carpenter ants or large fire ant colonies.
Florida’s warm, humid climate means ants stay active year-round, so treatment timing matters. We use professional-grade baits that remain effective even in high humidity, unlike store-bought products that often fail in our climate.
The key is targeting all colony locations at once. Half-measures just give ants time to relocate and rebuild, which is why professional identification and treatment provide faster, more reliable results than DIY approaches.
Yes, our treatments are specifically chosen for safety around families and pets. We use targeted baits placed in tamper-resistant stations and crack-and-crevice applications that keep active ingredients away from living areas.
Professional treatments are actually safer than store-bought sprays because we use precise application methods and lower-toxicity products. We avoid broadcast spraying and instead target specific areas where ants nest and travel.
We’ll explain exactly what we’re applying, where it’s going, and any precautions to take. Most treatments allow normal household activities immediately after application, with no need to evacuate or keep children and pets away from treated areas.
Fire ants are aggressive, reddish-brown ants that build large dirt mounds in yards and deliver painful, burning stings. Unlike other ants that might just be nuisances, fire ants can be dangerous, especially for children, pets, and anyone with allergies.
They’re also harder to eliminate because fire ant colonies can contain multiple queens and satellite nests. Disturbing a mound often causes them to relocate rather than disappear. Professional fire ant control uses specialized baits that worker ants carry throughout the entire colony system.
Ghost ants and sugar ants, by contrast, are tiny indoor pests that don’t sting but can be equally frustrating because they form multiple small nests. Each species requires different baits and treatment approaches for effective elimination.
Prevention starts with eliminating what attracts ants: food sources, moisture, and entry points. Keep kitchen surfaces clean, store food in airtight containers, fix leaky faucets, and identify cracks around windows and doors.
In Florida’s climate, moisture control is especially important. Ghost ants and carpenter ants are drawn to humid areas, so proper ventilation in bathrooms and basements helps. Remove mulch from directly against your foundation, as this creates ideal nesting sites.
Professional prevention includes applying barrier treatments around your property perimeter and establishing monitoring stations. We’ll show you specific trouble spots around your home and provide maintenance schedules to keep protection active year-round in Florida’s challenging pest environment.
Florida’s year-round warm temperatures and high humidity create perfect conditions for ant colonies to thrive without seasonal dormancy. While northern states get winter breaks from ant activity, Florida ants stay active and reproduce continuously.
Our sandy soil, frequent rainfall, and abundant vegetation provide ideal nesting sites and food sources. Many Florida ant species are also invasive, brought in through shipping and travel, without natural predators to keep populations in check.
This means Florida homes need more proactive ant control than properties in other climates. Seasonal treatments that work elsewhere often fail here because colonies never slow down. Professional year-round prevention is typically the most cost-effective approach for lasting protection in our unique environment.
