South Florida's tropical climate means year-round ant activity. From painful fire ants to persistent ghost ants, Hollywood homes face constant pressure from multiple species — each requiring different treatment approaches.
Get Free InspectionFlorida has more ant species than almost any other state, and Broward County's warm, humid conditions allow colonies to thrive year-round. Unlike northern states where winter kills off colonies, Hollywood's ants never stop breeding.
The sandy soil and regular rainfall create perfect nesting conditions. A single property in Hollywood might host fire ant mounds in the yard, carpenter ants in a moisture-damaged soffit, and ghost ants trailing through the kitchen — all at once.
Aggressive ants that build large mounds in lawns and landscaping. Their painful stings can cause allergic reactions. Fire ant colonies can contain 200,000+ workers. We use broadcast baits and mound treatments for lasting control.
Tiny, pale ants that seem to appear from nowhere. They're attracted to sweets and moisture, often infesting kitchens and bathrooms. Multiple colonies can exist in one home. Baiting programs are most effective.
Florida carpenter ants (Camponotus floridanus) are larger black ants that nest in wood — often damaged by moisture or termites. They don't eat wood but excavate galleries for nesting, causing structural damage.
Common in South Florida landscapes and structures. Massive colonies of 1-3 million workers make them difficult to control. They don't respond to traditional baits — specialized treatment required.
Fast-moving, erratic ants that form super-colonies. Increasingly common in Broward County. They invade structures in large numbers and can damage electrical equipment.
Small yellow-brown ants that are serious pests in homes and commercial buildings. They spread bacteria and are extremely difficult to control — improper treatment can cause colony budding and worsen infestations.
1. Species Identification: Different ants need different treatments. Ghost ants need baits; fire ants need mound treatment; carpenter ants need location of the nest. We identify exactly what you're dealing with.
2. Interior Treatment: Targeted baiting in active areas, crack and crevice treatment, and addressing moisture issues that attract ants. We focus on entry points and trailing patterns.
3. Exterior Perimeter: Creating a barrier around your Hollywood home. Granular baits for fire ants, liquid treatment around the foundation, and addressing landscaping that harbors colonies.
4. Ongoing Prevention: Florida's climate means ant pressure never stops. Quarterly treatments keep colonies from re-establishing and catch new activity before it becomes an infestation.
