Got ants? Yeah, they’re stubborn. And here in South Florida, they don’t just show up—they move in like they own the place. If you’re tired of watching trails march across your countertops or finding mounds popping up in your yard, we get it. That’s exactly why we started doing this work.
At Bugsy’s, we don’t just spray and hope for the best. We track down the whole colony, figure out what’s bringing them in, and make sure they don’t come back. Simple as that.
Why Ants Are Such a Pain in Florida
Look, ants aren’t just annoying—they’re persistent. Florida’s warm, humid climate is basically ant paradise. Once they find food, water, or shelter in your home, they leave a scent trail for thousands of their buddies to follow. Before you know it, you’ve got a full-blown problem.
And here’s the thing: those store-bought sprays? They kill the ants you see, but they don’t touch the queen or the nest. So you’re basically just treating the symptom, not the problem.

The Ants We Deal With Most
Not all ants are created equal. Florida’s got some real troublemakers, and each one needs a different approach.
Fire Ants
These guys are aggressive and their stings hurt—badly. Fire ants build those telltale dirt mounds in yards, and they’ll swarm anything (or anyone) that disturbs them. If you’ve got kids or pets who play outside, fire ants are more than just a nuisance—they’re a safety issue.
Carpenter Ants
Carpenter ants don’t eat wood like termites do, but they tunnel through it to build their nests. Over time, that can mean serious damage to your home’s structure. If you’re seeing wood shavings around baseboards or hearing faint rustling in your walls, don’t wait. Learn more about how we handle other wood-destroying pests.
Ghost Ants
These tiny guys are almost see-through (hence the name), and they love kitchens and bathrooms. They form multiple colonies throughout a house, which makes them tricky to eliminate without professional help.
Argentine Ants
Argentine ants are invasive and form massive super-colonies with multiple queens. They don’t fight each other like most ant species—they cooperate. That means they can spread fast and take over an entire property if you’re not careful.
Pavement Ants
You’ll find these small, dark ants nesting in the cracks of driveways and sidewalks. They eventually make their way inside looking for food. We seal up their entry points and eliminate the colonies at the source.
DIY vs Professional Ant Control
We’ve seen it a hundred times—someone tries the DIY route for weeks or months before finally calling us. And honestly? We get it. You want to save money and handle it yourself.
But here’s why that usually backfires:
- DIY sprays only kill the ants you see, not the colony
- Different ant species need different treatments (what works for one won’t work for another)
- You’re not sealing the entry points or fixing what’s attracting them
- It ends up costing more in wasted products and time than just calling a pro from the start
Professional ant extermination targets the root of the problem—the queens, the nests, the entry points. It’s faster, more effective, and honestly less frustrating.
When You Should Call Us
Don’t wait until your ant problem is out of control. Give us a call if you’re noticing:
- Ant trails anywhere inside your home
- Multiple ant mounds in your yard
- Winged ants indoors (those are swarmers looking to start new colonies)
- Small piles of wood shavings near walls or furniture
- Wood that sounds hollow when you tap it
- Ants that keep coming back no matter what you try
How to Keep Ants Away (Between Treatments)
Once we’ve taken care of your infestation, a few simple habits will help keep ants from coming back:
- Seal up cracks around windows, doors, and foundation
- Keep food in sealed containers and wipe down counters regularly
- Fix leaky pipes—ants need water just like everything else
- Trim trees and shrubs away from your house
- Don’t leave pet food sitting out all day
- Move firewood and mulch away from your foundation
