Ant Control
Stop ants from taking over your home or business with professional ant control in South Florida. Pest Worx provides targeted ant inspections and treatments for properties throughout Broward and Palm Beach County, helping address ant trails, nesting sites and recurring infestations.
Professional Ant Control for South Florida Homes & Businesses
Ants are among the most common pest problems in South Florida. Warm temperatures, humidity, rainfall and abundant food sources allow many ant species to remain active throughout the year. Once ants discover food, moisture or suitable nesting conditions, they can establish trails into kitchens, bathrooms, garages and commercial buildings.
Pest Worx provides professional ant control throughout Broward and Palm Beach County. Our technicians inspect your property to identify ant activity, evaluate potential nesting areas and recommend treatments based on the type of ant and the conditions contributing to the infestation.
From tiny ghost ants appearing on kitchen countertops to carpenter ants in damp wood and fire ants building mounds outdoors, we develop targeted ant management recommendations for residential and commercial properties.
Keep Ants Out of Your Kitchen, Home & Business
Seeing ants crawling across your kitchen counter, gathering around pet food or traveling along baseboards can be frustrating. What begins as a few ants may develop into persistent activity as workers follow scent trails between food sources and their colonies.
Some ants nest outdoors and enter buildings through tiny cracks, gaps around windows, utility penetrations and other openings. Others may establish nests in wall voids, landscaping, potted plants or moisture-damaged wood.
Different ant species require different control strategies. Spraying visible ants without identifying their source may provide temporary relief while leaving the underlying colony or nesting conditions unaddressed.
Pest Worx helps South Florida homeowners and businesses identify the type of ants involved, locate likely nesting and entry areas, and select appropriate treatment methods.
Whether you’re dealing with ghost ants in your kitchen, carpenter ants near wooden structures or fire ants around your yard, our goal is to reduce ant activity and help prevent recurring infestations through targeted treatment and practical prevention recommendations.
Complete Ant Control for Your South Florida Property
Pest Worx offers customized ant control solutions for homes, businesses and managed properties throughout South Florida. Our approach begins with identifying the ant species and inspecting common nesting areas, food sources, moisture conditions and entry points.
Depending on the infestation, treatment recommendations may include targeted ant baits, appropriately placed insecticide treatments, exterior perimeter applications and preventative measures. We focus on the areas contributing to ant activity rather than relying only on treatments of visible ants.

TARGETED ANT NESTING & ENTRY POINT PROTECTION
Ant Control Where It Matters Most
Ant colonies can establish themselves in landscaping, soil, wall voids and other protected locations while worker ants travel indoors searching for food and moisture.
Pest Worx evaluates the ant species, visible trails, possible nesting sites and entry points to recommend targeted ant control treatments for your property.
Our ant management approach focuses on six common problem areas:
• Kitchen cabinets, countertops and pantries
• Bathrooms, sinks and plumbing openings
• Windows, doors and foundation cracks
• Shrubs, mulch beds and landscaping
• Wall voids and moisture-damaged wood
• Lawns, patios and outdoor ant mounds
Treatment methods and locations depend on the species, infestation and property conditions.
WHY CHOOSE PEST WORX?
Your Local Partner for Professional Ant Control
When ants keep appearing in your kitchen, bathroom or business, you need more than a temporary solution. Effective ant control starts with understanding which species is present, where the ants are traveling and what conditions may be attracting them.
Pest Worx provides professional ant control for residential and commercial properties throughout Broward and Palm Beach County.
Our technicians evaluate visible ant activity, potential nesting sites, food sources, moisture conditions and entry points before recommending an appropriate treatment plan.
Because different ants behave differently, we select treatment strategies based on the infestation. For some species, carefully placed ant baits may help control the colony. Other situations may require targeted treatment of nesting areas, exterior entry points or affected structural locations.
We also provide practical recommendations to help reduce conditions that attract ants, including accessible food, water sources, vegetation touching buildings and unsealed openings.
Whether you’re dealing with ghost ants in a Fort Lauderdale kitchen, carpenter ants around a Boca Raton home or fire ants in a Coral Springs yard, Pest Worx is here to help you address the problem.
OUR ANT CONTROL PROCESS
Our Proven Approach to Ant Inspection & Treatment
Pest Worx uses a four-step approach to identify ant activity, recommend species-appropriate treatments and help reduce recurring ant problems around your South Florida property.
Step 1: Inspect
Step 2: Plan
Step 3: Treat
Step 4: Monitor
ONGOING ANT PREVENTION & PEST PROTECTION
Help Keep Ants From Returning to Your Property
South Florida’s warm, humid climate can support ant activity throughout the year. Even after an infestation is treated, new colonies may develop outdoors or ants may find additional ways into your home or business.
Ongoing pest management can help identify new activity early and address conditions that contribute to recurring ant problems.
Pest Worx offers preventative pest control service options that may include exterior perimeter treatments, monitoring for ant activity and recommendations for reducing food sources, moisture and entry points.
Whether you need help with an active ant infestation or want to explore routine protection for your property, our team can recommend an appropriate service approach.
ADDITIONAL EXTERIOR PEST PROTECTION
Exterior Perimeter Pest Protection for South Florida Properties
Many ant infestations begin outside, where colonies establish themselves in soil, mulch, landscaping and other protected locations before workers enter nearby buildings searching for food or moisture.
Pest Worx offers exterior perimeter pest protection designed to address common pest activity around foundations, entryways, landscaping and other vulnerable exterior areas.
Our approach includes property evaluation, targeted treatments where appropriate and recommendations for reducing conditions that attract pests.
Exterior perimeter treatments can support an overall ant management strategy, but they are not a substitute for identifying the ant species and addressing established colonies when necessary.
Protect your South Florida home or business with pest management recommendations tailored to your building and surrounding environment.

How do I get rid of ants in my South Florida home?
South Florida properties can experience several ant species, including ghost ants, carpenter ants, fire ants, bigheaded ants, white-footed ants and other household ants. Each species has different nesting and foraging habits, so identifying the ant is an important part of selecting an effective treatment.
How do I get rid of ants in my South Florida home?
Effective ant control starts with identifying the species, locating trails and possible nesting areas, and addressing food, moisture and entry points. Pest Worx provides professional ant inspections and recommends targeted treatments based on the infestation and property conditions.
Why do ants keep coming back after I spray them?
Spraying visible ants may kill individual workers without controlling the colony. Some ant species can also respond to certain disturbances by spreading into additional nesting sites. Professional ant control focuses on identifying the species and selecting treatment methods that address the source of the infestation.
What are ghost ants, and why are they in my kitchen?
Ghost ants are tiny ants commonly found in South Florida. They often have dark heads and pale, nearly translucent bodies. They may enter kitchens and bathrooms while searching for food and moisture. Effective control may involve identifying trails, reducing attractants and using species-appropriate treatments.
Are carpenter ants dangerous to my home?
Carpenter ants can excavate galleries in wood to create nesting spaces. They do not eat wood like termites, but established colonies can contribute to damage, particularly where wood is already damp or deteriorating. If you notice large ants, wood debris or recurring activity near wooden structures, a professional inspection is recommended.
How can I tell the difference between carpenter ants and termites?
Carpenter ants typically have narrow waists and elbowed antennae, while termites have broader waists and straighter antennae. Winged ants and winged termites also differ in their wing shapes and proportions. Because identification can be difficult, a professional inspection is the best way to determine which pest is present.
Do you treat fire ants in lawns and outdoor areas?
Pest Worx can evaluate fire ant activity around lawns, landscaping, patios and other outdoor spaces and recommend appropriate control measures. Fire ants may build soil mounds and can deliver painful stings when their nests are disturbed. Avoid disturbing suspected fire ant mounds while waiting for service.
What attracts ants into kitchens and bathrooms?
Ants may enter buildings in search of food, water and suitable shelter. Crumbs, sugary spills, pet food, accessible garbage, leaking plumbing and moisture around sinks can attract certain species. Reducing these conditions can support professional ant control.
Where do ants usually nest around a house?
Depending on the species, ants may nest in soil, mulch beds, potted plants, wall voids, beneath pavement, around foundations or in damp wooden structures. Some species establish multiple interconnected nesting locations, making inspection and accurate identification especially important.
Do ant baits work better than sprays?
The best treatment depends on the ant species and infestation. Ant baits can be effective for some species because foraging ants may carry bait back to other colony members. Other infestations may require different targeted treatments. Applying incompatible sprays near bait placements can interfere with bait acceptance, so follow your technician’s instructions.
How long does professional ant control take to work?
Results vary depending on the species, colony size, nesting location and treatment method. Some treatments may reduce visible activity relatively quickly, while bait-based colony management can take longer. Your Pest Worx technician can explain the expected response and whether follow-up service may be necessary.
Are ant control treatments safe for children and pets?
Pest Worx uses pest control products according to their approved labels and provides applicable preparation, reentry and safety instructions. Children and pets should be kept away from treatment areas when directed, and all instructions for the specific service should be followed.
Can ants enter through windows, doors and plumbing openings?
Yes. Ants can enter through small gaps around doors, windows, utility lines, plumbing penetrations and other structural openings. Identifying ant trails and sealing appropriate entry points can help reduce access, although established colonies may still require targeted treatment.
Do you offer ant control for restaurants and commercial buildings?
Yes. Pest Worx provides professional ant control for residential and commercial properties throughout Broward and Palm Beach County. Commercial treatment recommendations may address food preparation areas, storage spaces, offices, landscaping and exterior entry points, depending on the facility and pest activity.
Can routine pest control help prevent ant infestations?
Recurring pest management can help detect new ant activity, address vulnerable exterior areas and reduce conditions that attract ants. However, no treatment can guarantee that ants will never return, particularly in South Florida’s warm climate. Routine inspections and good sanitation practices can support longer-term control.
Do you offer free ant control estimates in South Florida?
Yes. Pest Worx offers free estimates for ant control services throughout Broward and Palm Beach County. Contact our team to discuss your ant problem, property location and service needs.
