Ant Control in West Palm Beach
Edison Termite & Property Care — Ant Control services in West Palm Beach
Ant control means finding where the colony is actually living, not just where you see them walking, and treating that spot. Different ants nest in different places and respond to different methods, so the job starts with figuring out which ant you've got.
Which ones you get here
- Fire Ants: Mound in the yard, not the house. We treat the mound and the surrounding turf, and stay clear of digging into it by hand.
- Carpenter Ants: They're already in wood that's gone soft or damp. We have to find the damaged wood before we treat, and sometimes that means opening it up.
- Ghost Ants: Tiny, pale, and they nest in wall voids, potted plants, and mulch beds. They scatter when sprayed, so it's bait, not contact spray.
- White-Footed Ants: Colonies can run into the hundreds of thousands, usually outdoors in trees or soffits, bridging into the house. The perimeter gets as much attention as the kitchen.
- Pharaoh Ants: Indoor, in wall voids and under slabs, and they split into new colonies if you spray them directly. Bait only, no exceptions.
What ant control involves
- Follow the trail: We track the ants back from where you see them to find the nest or the entry point, not just the foraging line.
- Identify the species: What it is decides what we do next — bait, mound treatment, or opening up damaged wood.
- Treat the colony: Direct mound treatment outdoors, targeted baiting indoors, or both when the colony bridges from yard to structure.
- Check it took: We go back to confirm the trail is gone and the bait's being taken, not just that the ants you first saw are gone.
When you need it
- A steady line of ants across the kitchen counter or baseboard.
- A mound of loose dirt in the lawn that wasn't there last week.
- Winged ants swarming near a window or door frame.
- Small piles of wood shavings near a windowsill or door frame.
What changes the job
Size of the job depends on where the colony actually is. A fire ant mound in the yard is a contained job. Ants already inside a wall void, under a slab, or in damaged framing take longer, because we're working blind until we open something up or get the bait pattern right. Mulch beds, potted plants, and irrigation boxes right against the house tend to be where the bigger colonies set up.
