We Offer Fire Ant Extermination Services

Fire ants are one of the more  dangerous types of ants you’ll encounter in our region. Aggressive defenders of their nests, they bite and sting in large numbers and have the potential to cause injury if you wander into their territory. Children and pets are especially at risk.

Fire ant infestations can also lead to property damage if they burrow their massive underground nests under your foundation, walkway, or driveway. These vast networks of tunnels have been known to “undermine” structures and cause collapse.

Avoid the stress and headaches – call us for prompt and reliable fire ant control in Central Florida.

Ant Control FAQs for Central Florida Homeowners

How long does it take for an ant exterminator to solve an ant infestation?

This will depend on the size and scale of the ant infestation, as well as the specific species you’re dealing with.

You will start to notice an improvement within a few days to a week. There may appear to be an increase in initial ant activity at first, but don’t worry – this means the treatments are working.

Within a few weeks to a month, you should find that ant activity has been reduced to a minimum.

Rain and changing moisture conditions can drive ants out of their nests and into homes looking for food, water, and shelter. We often see increased ant activity after periods of heavy rain in Central Florida.

The ant species and how its colony functions matter. Store-bought sprays may kill the ants you see without reaching the colony and, with some species, can cause the colony to spread into additional areas

It really depends. While a one-time treatment can eliminate a current infestation, Central Florida’s year-round warm climate means new ant colonies are constantly looking for a way in. We highly recommend a seasonal or quarterly maintenance plan to provide ongoing protection around your home’s exterior perimeter.

Ant species can look very similar, but treatment methods vary by species. Forest offers a free inspection to identify the species and recommend the appropriate treatment.

Yes. Ants may nest inside walls, attics, beneath slabs, around plumbing, or in other concealed areas. Some species can also establish multiple colonies throughout a property.

New construction can disturb the surrounding soil and pest populations. Gaps, moisture, construction materials, landscaping, and other insects around the home may also contribute to ant activity.

What's the Most Effective Type of Ant Control?

If you seek dependable long-term results, the best choice, by far, is professional extermination.

Safety and effectiveness are our top priorities at Forest Pest Control. Tailoring each treatment plan to your exact case, we use treatments that are environmentally and pet-friendly. Our ant extermination process includes the following steps:

  1. Thorough inspection to identify ant species and entry points.
  2. Customized treatment plans tailored to your specific situation.
  3. Use of advanced, eco-friendly products that target ants at the source.
  4. Ongoing monitoring and follow-up treatments as needed.
  5. Expert advice on prevention techniques to keep ants away for good.
