Ant Control in Pensacola, FL
Ants are among the most common pest calls on the Gulf Coast, from trails in the kitchen to fire ant mounds in the lawn. The right treatment depends on the type and where the colony lives.

Small ants trail to food and water. Baits carried back to the colony work better than sprays, which scatter them.
Fire ants
Fire ant mounds pop up in lawns, especially after rain. Their stings are painful, and they can be dangerous to people with allergies.
Carpenter ants
Large ants nesting in damp wood can point to moisture problems such as leaks around windows or roofs.
Yard treatments
Broadcast baits across the lawn followed by mound treatments are a common approach for fire ants.
Prevention
Seal gaps, fix leaks, keep food sealed and trim branches that touch the house.
Children and pets
Keep children and pets away from mounds and treated areas until the product label says it's safe.
Get help
Tell the company where you see ants and how many. Send a request and a pest control company will get in touch.
Ants after rain
Heavy rain floods ant nests and drives colonies indoors or into new mounds. Expect more activity after storms, and treat early.
Sweet or greasy
Some ants prefer sugar, others grease or protein. The right bait depends on what they're eating, which a technician can work out.
Lawn care
Healthy, regularly mowed lawns make fire ant mounds easier to spot early, before colonies grow large.
