Ant Treatment & Control
Effective ant control for Florida's 221+ ant species. We identify the specific ant species invading your property and apply targeted treatments for lasting results.
Ant Identification
Common Ants Found in Florida
With over 221 species of ants found throughout the state of Florida, it is not uncommon to have several varieties of ants infesting a single home. Because of the nesting and feeding differences of each species of ant, ABC's inspectors must first identify the types of ants you are having problems with. Then our team can apply the products necessary to control your infestation.
Homeowners may be asked to capture several of the ants for identification purposes. This can be accomplished by using a simple piece of tape when the ants are seen foraging. Once we have identified the ants, treatment will be made to eliminate the entire colony. This may involve treating both the interior and exterior of the home.
Landscape Protection
Treating Your Landscape to Prevent Ant Infestations
Sometimes, caulking, and/or trimming back plants that touch the home will help maintain control of foraging ants. Although most people are only worried about the ants inside the home, ABC has found that landscape plantings are breeding grounds for ants that eventually infest the home.
Therefore, ABC recommends that your plants be treated to help control the numbers of ants in the landscape. By addressing both the interior, exterior, and landscape areas of your property, we can provide the most comprehensive ant control solution available.
Expert Identification
Proper Species ID Is Key to Effective Ant Control
Different ant species require different treatment approaches. Fire ants need mound treatments, carpenter ants require structural treatment, and ghost ants respond best to baiting systems. ABC's trained inspectors identify the specific species before applying the right treatment for lasting results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I keep getting ants even after treatment?
Ant colonies can have multiple queens and satellite colonies. Effective treatment targets the entire colony, not just visible ants. Our bait systems work to eliminate the colony at its source.
Are fire ants dangerous?
Yes, fire ant stings can cause painful welts and allergic reactions in some people. Multiple stings can be serious, especially for children and those with allergies.
