Ant Control in Plantation
Plantation lives up to its motto, 'The Grass is Greener' — mature oak canopy, leafy established streets and lush landscaping from Jacaranda to Plantation Acres. That shade and moisture is exactly what ants want. Ghost ants and white-footed ants stream out of mulch beds, ficus hedges and the damp soil under all those trees, then follow plumbing and moisture indoors to kitchens and bathrooms. On the larger, more wooded lots in Plantation Acres, fire ant mounds flare up in the lawn overnight after rain.
The instinct is to grab a repellent spray, but that backfires. Repellents kill the visible ants and cause the colony to bud into satellite nests scattered through your walls and landscaping, so the trail is back within a week. Real ant control means identifying the species, finding the nest, and using non-repellent products and baits the workers carry home to the queen.

How Arrest-A-Pest Treats It
- 1
Species-first inspection
We identify which Plantation ant you actually have, then track the trail back to the nesting site — mulch bed, hedge line, wall void or roofline.
- 2
Targeted colony treatment
Non-repellent liquids and species-matched gel baits are placed where ants forage, so workers carry the material back to the queen instead of scattering into satellite nests.
- 3
Exterior perimeter barrier
A treated band around the foundation, entry points, utility penetrations and eaves stops the next wave before it reaches your door.
- 4
Conditions correction
We flag the moisture, mulch contact and hedge or tree branches touching the house that invited them, and tell you exactly what to change.
- 5
Follow-up and monitoring
We return to confirm the colony is gone and adjust if new activity shows up.
