How We Treat Ants
Our proven process delivers results you can count on.
Colony Identification
We identify the ant species and locate the colony, since different ants require different treatment methods.
Bait & Barrier Treatment
We use targeted baits that worker ants carry back to the colony, plus perimeter barriers to stop new ants from entering.
Yard & Mound Treatment
For fire ants and outdoor colonies, we treat individual mounds and apply broadcast treatments to your yard.
Prevention Plan
We address moisture issues, entry points, and landscaping that may attract ants, and schedule follow-up treatments as needed.

Ants FAQ
Common questions about our service.
Why do ants keep coming back after I spray?
Over-the-counter sprays only kill the ants you see — the colony can have hundreds of thousands of ants you don't see. Professional bait treatments target the entire colony, including the queen, for lasting elimination.
Are fire ants dangerous?
Yes. Fire ant stings cause painful, burning welts and can trigger severe allergic reactions in some people. Children, elderly individuals, and pets are especially at risk. Professional fire ant treatment protects your family.
How do I know if I have carpenter ants?
Carpenter ants are large (1/4 to 1/2 inch), usually black, and create tunnels in wood. Look for sawdust-like debris (frass) near wood structures. Unlike termites, they don't eat wood — they excavate it for nesting.
What are the tiny ants in my kitchen?
In Florida, the tiny ants in kitchens are usually ghost ants or sugar ants. They're attracted to moisture and sweet foods. They form massive colonies and require professional bait treatments for effective control.
How much does ant control cost in St. Augustine?
Pricing depends on the ant species, severity of the infestation, and whether yard treatment is needed. Fire ant yard treatments are often a separate service. Call us or fill out our form for a free, no-obligation quote.
