Before you call: 5 things to know
A quick guide to get the most out of your call.
- An automated assistant answers first and connects you to a local pest control company.
- It usually takes about a minute, so stay on the line.
- A specialist will ask about your pest, your home, and your zip code to match you with the right service.
Be ready to describe what you’re seeing, where, and for how long. A photo from a safe distance helps.
- Trails of ants indoors, often in kitchens and bathrooms
- Dome-shaped dirt mounds in the yard with no obvious opening: likely fire ants

- Many companies offer both.
- One-time treatment: can make sense for an isolated problem.
- Ongoing plan (often quarterly): can make sense when pests keep coming back.
- Ask what each option includes, and whether re-treatments between visits are included.
- Price depends on your home, your location, the pest, and the service.
- Initial service: usually higher, because the first visit includes an inspection and the most work.
- Recurring price: monthly or quarterly, if you choose an ongoing plan.
- Ask about contract length and how to cancel.
- Are you licensed in Florida?
- What products will you use, and can I see the label?
- When is it safe to go back in, and is it safe around kids and pets?
- What happens if pests come back?
- What’s the contract length, and how do I cancel?
- Will you treat inside and the yard?
Have ready: your zip code, good times for a visit, and whether you have pets or kids at home.
Pest problems tend to grow when left alone. Call early for the best chance at a same-day appointment.

Signs of a ants problem
- Trails of ants along counters, baseboards, or window frames
- Small piles of fine soil or debris near foundations and pavers
- Winged swarmers indoors, which can signal an established colony
- Fire ant mounds in the yard, with painful stings if disturbed
What a pest control provider does
A provider identifies the species — fire, ghost, carpenter, and others each behave differently — and locates the nest.
They use targeted baits and treatments that ants carry back to the colony, which is what actually stops the trail for good.
They’ll also address the entry points and moisture that draw ants indoors.
Why it pays to act now
The ants on your counter are a fraction of a colony that can number in the thousands, so sprays only offer temporary relief.
Some species, like carpenter ants, damage wood, and fire ants pose a stinging hazard to kids and pets — both are worth handling promptly.
