Ant Control That Actually Works
From sugar ants to fire ants, we identify the species and eliminate the colony, not just the trail.
One ant in the kitchen means hundreds are on the way. Florida is home to dozens of ant species, and spraying the line you see doesn't touch the colony hidden in your wall, yard, or slab. We treat the source.
Why Ants Are a Problem
The risks go beyond the nuisance. Here's why ants need to be dealt with fast.
- Contaminate food and kitchen surfaces
- Fire ants deliver painful, allergic-reaction-prone stings
- Carpenter ants tunnel through wood (similar damage to termites)
- Some species bite or invade electrical outlets and appliances
- Colonies rebuild fast if only surface-sprayed
Signs You Have Ants
Know what to look for. Early detection means faster, cheaper treatment.
- Trails along counters, baseboards, or windows
- Small piles of dirt or sawdust near foundations or wood
- Ant mounds in your yard (especially fire ant hills)
- Ants around pet food bowls or trash areas
- Winged swarmers (often confused with termites)
How Bugstinct Treats Ants
A professional, thorough approach, not a surface-level spray.
- 1 Species identification (treatment varies: ghost ant ≠ fire ant ≠ carpenter ant)
- 2 Non-repellent baits that ants carry back to the colony
- 3 Perimeter exterior treatments
- 4 Yard and mound treatments for fire ants
- 5 Interior spot treatments in kitchens, bathrooms, entry points
- 6 Ongoing monitoring on recurring service plans
Why DIY Fails
Grocery-store ant spray is a repellent, so it kills the visible ants and scatters the rest, which splits the colony into satellite nests and makes the problem worse. Professional non-repellent products let the workers carry bait back to the queen, which is the only way to truly eliminate a colony.
