You’ll walk through your kitchen without finding ant trails on counters. Your kids can play in the yard without worrying about painful fire ant stings. Your pantry stays clean, your peace of mind intact.
That’s what happens when you get real ant control in Trinity, FL—not the temporary fixes that leave you spraying every few weeks. Professional baiting systems eliminate entire colonies, including the queens that keep producing new workers.
Most Trinity homeowners discover this after months of frustration with store-bought sprays that just push ants to different rooms. The difference is targeting the source, not just the symptoms you see.
We’ve been protecting Trinity families from Florida’s aggressive ant species for years at Around The Clock Pest Service. As a family-owned business, you work directly with us—not a call center.
Every one of our technicians is state-certified and knows exactly which ant species cause problems in Pasco County. From the fire ants that build mounds in Trinity yards to the tiny sugar ants that invade kitchens, we’ve seen it all.
Over 100 five-star Google reviews from your neighbors prove what happens when you combine local expertise with genuine care for the families we serve.
First, we identify which ant species you’re dealing with. Fire ants need different treatment than carpenter ants or ghost ants. Each species has different food preferences and nesting behaviors.
Next, we place professional-grade baiting systems that worker ants carry back to the colony. Unlike sprays that only kill ants you see, baits eliminate queens, larvae, and the entire nest structure.
We also identify entry points and apply targeted treatments to areas where ants typically establish satellite colonies. Most Trinity residents see dramatic reduction within days, with complete elimination typically within two weeks. Then we set up prevention systems to keep them gone.

Your ant control service includes identification of all species present, professional baiting systems, entry point identifying, and follow-up treatments as needed. We handle everything from aggressive fire ants to tiny ghost ants that seem impossible to eliminate.
Trinity’s humid climate creates perfect conditions for multiple ant species year-round. Fire ants build painful colonies in yards. Sugar ants and ghost ants invade kitchens seeking moisture and food. Carpenter ants damage wooden structures in Florida’s moisture-rich environment.
Our quarterly prevention plans keep all species controlled with family-safe treatments. You get direct owner communication, transparent pricing with phone quotes, and 24/7 availability when problems arise. Military families and new homeowners receive special discounts.
Tiny ants in Trinity kitchens are usually ghost ants or sugar ants attracted to moisture and food sources. These species thrive in Florida’s humid climate and can squeeze through incredibly small cracks around windows, pipes, and electrical outlets.
Ghost ants get their name because they’re nearly transparent and extremely small, making them hard to spot until you have a major trail. They’re drawn to sugary substances but also need consistent moisture, which is why they often appear near sinks, dishwashers, and pet water bowls.
The key is eliminating the entire colony, not just the ants you see. Professional baiting systems allow worker ants to carry toxicant back to hidden nests, eliminating queens and larvae that keep producing new workers.
Fire ant control in Trinity requires treating the entire colony system, which extends deep underground with multiple chambers. Surface treatments only kill visible workers while queens continue producing thousands of new ants.
Professional fire ant treatment uses specialized baits that worker ants carry throughout the colony structure. The toxicant spreads to queens, larvae, and all colony members over 7-14 days. This eliminates the entire population, not just surface activity.
DIY methods like pouring boiling water or gasoline on mounds are dangerous and ineffective. They often cause colonies to relocate rather than eliminate them, and fire ants become more aggressive when disturbed. Professional treatment is safer for families, pets, and actually works long-term.
Carpenter ants in Trinity are attracted to moisture-damaged wood, which is common in Florida’s humid environment. They don’t eat wood like termites, but they excavate galleries in soft, damp wood for nesting.
Common attractants include leaky pipes, roof damage, poor ventilation in crawl spaces, and wood-to-soil contact around foundations. They also seek protein and sugar sources, often following scent trails from pet food, kitchen spills, or outdoor garbage.
Prevention involves eliminating moisture problems, identifying entry points, and removing wood debris near your home. Professional treatment targets both the nests inside wooden structures and the foraging trails that lead worker ants to food sources throughout your property.
Professional ant baiting systems are designed to be safe around families and pets when applied correctly. The bait stations we use are tamper-resistant and contain small amounts of active ingredient that target ants specifically.
Unlike broadcast spraying, baiting systems deliver toxicant directly to ant colonies without exposing large areas of your home or yard. Children and pets can’t access the bait inside secured stations, and the active ingredients break down quickly in the environment.
We always explain placement locations and any temporary precautions during treatment. Most baiting systems allow normal family activities immediately after installation. This targeted approach is much safer than repeated spray applications that many Trinity homeowners try with over-the-counter products.
Professional ant control in Trinity typically provides 3-6 months of protection, depending on the species treated and environmental conditions. Fire ant treatments often last longer, while ghost ants and sugar ants may require more frequent service due to their rapid reproduction.
Quarterly prevention plans work best in Florida’s climate because they maintain consistent protection against multiple species year-round. Each service adjusts for seasonal ant activity patterns and addresses new colonies before they become established.
One-time treatments eliminate current infestations but don’t prevent new colonies from moving in. Trinity’s warm, humid environment supports ant activity 12 months per year, so ongoing prevention is the most effective approach for long-term control.
Fire ants in Trinity deliver painful stings that inject venom, causing burning sensations, pustules, and potential allergic reactions. Unlike other ants that may bite, fire ants both bite to hold on and sting repeatedly, injecting more venom with each sting.
Children and pets are especially vulnerable because they’re more likely to accidentally disturb fire ant mounds during outdoor activities. Some individuals develop severe allergic reactions requiring immediate medical attention. Even minor stings cause days of discomfort and itching.
Fire ants are also extremely aggressive when defending their colonies. Disturbing a mound triggers hundreds of ants to attack simultaneously, creating dangerous situations for anyone nearby. Professional treatment eliminates entire colonies safely without triggering defensive responses.
