Ant Control in Fort Myers, FL
Ghost ants, crazy ants, and Argentine ants in your Fort Myers kitchen. We bait the colony instead of scattering it, so they do not come back in two weeks.
The Ants Came Back Worse After You Sprayed Them
A line of tiny ants shows up on the kitchen counter. You hit it with a can from the hardware store and the trail disappears by dinner. Two weeks later there are ants in the bathroom, ants in a potted plant, and a new trail behind the coffee maker. That is not bad luck. That is the treatment doing exactly what the ant expects.
The ants that get into Southwest Florida homes are mostly multi-queen species. Ghost ants, crazy ants, and Argentine ants run colonies with dozens of queens instead of one. When a repellent spray hits that colony, it does not die, it buds. Satellite queens take a group of workers and leave to start over somewhere the spray did not reach, which usually means deeper into your wall voids. One colony becomes four, spread across the house, and every can you spray splits them again.
We do the opposite. Jason identifies which ant you actually have, because the species decides the product, then places non-repellent gel bait directly on the active trails. The workers do not detect it, so they carry it back and feed it to the queens and the brood. The colony collapses from the inside instead of scattering. Ghost ant trails usually break within 48 to 72 hours, and the full colony network typically clears in 7 to 14 days.

How Ant Control Works
From the first call to a pest-free home, here is exactly what to expect.
Identify the Ant
Jason follows the trail to the entry point and identifies the species on site. Ghost ants, crazy ants, Argentine ants, and black ants each need a different bait, and guessing here is why most DIY attempts fail.
Map the Trail Network
Ants forage along consistent routes: countertop edges, plumbing lines, window sills. Jason traces them back to harborage points in wall voids, potted plants, and mulch beds before anything is applied.
Bait, Do Not Spray
Non-repellent gel bait goes directly on the active trails. Workers carry it back to the queens. Nothing here repels the ants, which is the whole point: repelling them is what causes the colony to bud and spread.
Exterior Barrier
A perimeter treatment around the foundation, plus targeted work in mulch beds and along the lanai, stops the outdoor population from resupplying the trail you just eliminated.
Follow Up and Confirm
Ant work is judged at the two week mark, not day one. Jason checks that the trails are gone rather than relocated, and re-baits any activity at no extra charge.
