You walk into your kitchen without finding trails of tiny invaders marching across your countertops. Your pantry stays clean, your pet food bowls don’t attract swarms, and you stop finding ants in places they shouldn’t be.
That’s what happens when ant removal actually works. Not the temporary fix you get from store-bought sprays that kill a few ants while the colony keeps growing. Real ant control that targets the source, eliminates the queen, and stops new ants from moving in.
In Verano’s warm climate, ants stay active year-round. They don’t take a winter break like they do up north. One small crack, one forgotten crumb, one tiny moisture source, and suddenly you’re dealing with hundreds of ants that seem to appear overnight. Professional ant removal stops this cycle completely.
ProControl Management Services has been solving ant problems across the Treasure Coast for nearly two decades. We know exactly which ant species invade Verano homes and the most effective methods to eliminate each one.
Every technician is licensed and fully insured. We use eco-friendly treatments that are safe for your family and pets while being lethal to ant colonies. Free estimates, 24/7 emergency service, and a satisfaction guarantee back every job.
We serve homeowners who want real solutions, not temporary fixes. We’ve built our reputation by doing thorough work that keeps ants from coming back, not just killing the ones you can see today.
First, a thorough inspection identifies the ant species, locates entry points, and finds where colonies are actually nesting. Different ants require different treatments, so proper identification is crucial for lasting results.
Next comes targeted treatment. Instead of just spraying visible ants, we use specialized baits that worker ants carry back to the colony. The queen and her hidden workers get eliminated, stopping the source of your ant problem.
Finally, prevention measures seal entry points and eliminate attractants. You get specific recommendations for keeping ants out permanently, plus follow-up service to ensure the treatment worked completely. Most customers see dramatic results within 48 hours, with complete elimination following shortly after.
Verano homes deal with multiple ant species throughout the year. Ghost ants invade kitchens and bathrooms, attracted to moisture and sweet substances. Carpenter ants tunnel through wooden structures, causing damage similar to termites. Fire ants create painful stings and aggressive colonies in yards.
Each species requires specific treatment methods. Ghost ants respond to protein-based baits during certain seasons and sugar-based baits during others. Carpenter ants need nest location and elimination plus moisture control. Fire ants require specialized colony treatments that reach deep underground.
Professional ant removal addresses all these species with the right approach for each one. You don’t have to figure out which ant you’re dealing with or which treatment method works. We handle species identification and apply the most effective treatment for complete elimination.
Most ant treatments show dramatic results within 48 hours, with complete colony elimination following within 1-2 weeks. The timeline depends on the ant species and colony size.
Baiting systems work by having worker ants carry poison back to the colony, including the queen and hidden workers you never see. This process takes time but ensures complete elimination rather than just killing visible ants.
Some ant species like ghost ants may require follow-up treatments if multiple colonies exist throughout your property. Your technician will explain the expected timeline based on your specific situation and provide follow-up service as needed.
DIY sprays kill the ants you see but rarely reach the colony source. The queen keeps producing new workers, so ants return within days or weeks. Many store-bought products actually make infestations worse by causing colonies to split and spread.
Professional ant removal targets entire colonies using specialized baits and treatments not available to consumers. We identify the specific ant species and use the most effective approach for that particular pest.
Professional service also includes prevention measures like sealing entry points and eliminating attractants. You get ongoing support to ensure the treatment worked completely, not just a one-time application that may or may not solve the problem.
Yes, professional ant control uses eco-friendly treatments specifically chosen for safety around families and pets. The products are applied in targeted locations where ants travel, not broadcast throughout your living spaces.
Baiting systems place small amounts of treatment material in tamper-resistant stations or areas where children and pets don’t have access. The active ingredients break down quickly in the environment while remaining effective against ant colonies.
Your technician will explain all safety precautions and provide specific instructions for any areas that need temporary restrictions. Most treatments allow normal household activities immediately after application with no special precautions needed.
Ant removal typically costs between $150-$250 for initial treatment, depending on the infestation size and ant species involved. This includes thorough inspection, species identification, targeted treatment, and follow-up service as needed.
Carpenter ant removal may cost more due to the complexity of locating and treating wooden nest sites. Fire ant control often requires specialized treatments for outdoor colonies. Ghost ants and other common household species usually fall within the standard price range.
Free estimates provide exact pricing based on your specific situation. Many customers find professional treatment costs less than repeatedly buying ineffective DIY products, plus you get guaranteed results and ongoing support.
Ghost ants are the most frequent invaders, attracted to kitchens and bathrooms where they find moisture and food sources. These tiny, nearly transparent ants can establish multiple colonies throughout your home and are extremely difficult to eliminate without professional treatment.
Carpenter ants cause structural damage by tunneling through wooden components like floor joists, wall studs, and window frames. They prefer moist or damaged wood and can cause significant property damage if left untreated.
Fire ants typically stay outdoors but create painful stings and aggressive colonies in yards and landscaping. White-footed ants and Argentine ants also appear regularly, each requiring specific treatment approaches for effective elimination.
Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency ant removal for urgent situations. Severe infestations, aggressive fire ant colonies, or situations involving health concerns receive priority scheduling.
Emergency service is particularly important for carpenter ant discoveries, as these pests cause ongoing structural damage. Fire ant colonies near play areas or walkways also warrant immediate attention due to sting risks for children and pets.
Same-day or next-day service is available for most ant removal needs. Call anytime for emergency situations, or schedule regular service during business hours. Free estimates are provided regardless of when you call for service.
