From tiny ghost ants in South Tampa kitchens to destructive carpenter ants in Seminole Heights' wood-frame homes, we provide species-specific treatments. Our approach combines baiting systems that eliminate entire colonies with barrier treatments that prevent new invasions.
We identify the ant species and track their trails to locate nests - often hidden in wall voids, under slabs, or in moisture-damaged wood. Treatments are timed to the ants' foraging cycles for maximum effectiveness.
Special protocols address Tampa's unique challenges like fire ants in lawns and sugar ants that swarm after summer rains. We'll also show you how to modify landscaping and food storage to make your home less attractive to ants.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do ants keep coming back after other treatments?
Most sprays only kill worker ants. Our baits are carried back to the nest to eliminate the queen and entire colony.
How long until the bait starts working?
You may see increased activity for 2-3 days as ants carry the bait back to the nest, then a rapid decline in numbers.
Are the baits safe around pets?
We use pet-safe formulations and place baits in tamper-resistant stations where needed.
