Ant Control in Pembroke Pines, FL

Ant Control in Pembroke Pines

In Pembroke Pines, a huge share of homes are townhomes, condos and villas with shared walls — and that changes how ants behave. Ghost ants nest outdoors in the lake-edge landscaping, mulch beds and planters that run along these communities, then follow the moisture of shared plumbing into kitchens and bathrooms, often showing up in one unit after a neighbor sprayed and pushed the colony over.

Store-bought repellent sprays make it worse, because ghost ant colonies have many queens and simply split when disturbed — which, between attached units, can mean the ants reappear two doors down. Real ant control here means identifying the species, tracing the trail back to the nest in the landscaping, and using non-repellent baits the workers carry home, so the whole colony is eliminated instead of relocated.

How Arrest-A-Pest Treats It

1. 1

   Species and trail inspection

   We confirm the ant species and trace the trails back to the nest in the landscaping, planters or wall voids, including the lake-edge beds common along Pembroke Pines communities.

2. 2

   Non-repellent interior treatment

   We use non-repellent products and baits the workers carry back to the colony, instead of a repellent spray that just makes ghost ants bud and spread toward the next unit.

3. 3

   Exterior perimeter barrier

   We treat the foundation, entry points, patio and the mulch beds where colonies nest, which is the key in attached-home communities.

4. 4

   Coordination for attached homes

   In townhomes and condos we focus on your unit's perimeter and entry points so the colony is eliminated rather than pushed into a neighbor's wall.

5. 5

   Follow-up and prevention

   We return to confirm the colony is gone and point out the moisture and landscaping contact that invite ants back.
