About Ants
Ants are one of the most common household pests in Northeast Florida, often invading kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor spaces in search of food and water. While many species are simply a nuisance, some — like carpenter ants — can cause serious damage to wood structures, and fire ants can deliver painful stings that pose risks to children and pets.
Why They’re a Problem
Colonies grow quickly and can number in the thousands.
Ants contaminate food and surfaces as they forage.
Certain species (fire ants, carpenter ants, pharaoh ants) create health and property risks.
DIY sprays usually kill only the visible ants, leaving the colony untouched.
Signs of an Ant Infestation
Trails of ants leading to food or water sources.
Small piles of dirt or sand indoors or near foundations.
Wood shavings or hollow sounds in wood (carpenter ants).
Painful bites or stings in your yard (fire ants).
Other Companies
Many pest control providers apply surface sprays that kill only the ants you see. Without eliminating the queen and the colony, infestations return quickly.
