Common Ant Species in South Florida (and How We Eliminate Them)
From sugar-loving ghost ants to aggressive fire ants, South Florida homes are constantly under siege from a variety of ant species. At Blue Door Pest Control, we don’t just treat symptoms—we identify the species, locate nests, and eliminate the problem at its source with treatments tailored to your home’s unique layout and risk level.
Ghost Ant Control in Kitchens and Bathrooms
These tiny, pale ants—often called sugar ants—are drawn to sweets, water, and warmth. You’ll usually find them in sinks, countertops, and baseboards. Because they create multiple satellite colonies, DIY methods rarely work.
- ✔️ We apply non-repellent bait and gel to critical areas
- ✔️ Treat voids and hidden trails with precision dusting
- ✔️ Seal common entry points around windows and plumbing
Fire Ant Extermination for Lawns and Yards
Fire ants are highly aggressive and deliver painful stings. Their mounds can take over yards, driveways, and playgrounds—posing a danger to kids and pets.
- ✔️ Broadcast bait treatments for large colonies
- ✔️ Spot treatments for active mounds and visible trails
- ✔️ Follow-up visits for guaranteed elimination
Carpenter Ant Control to Prevent Structural Damage
Carpenter ants tunnel through wood to create nests, weakening structural supports. They often appear in attics, wall voids, or near leaky windows and siding.
- ✔️ We locate moisture-prone nesting areas
- ✔️ Apply targeted foam or dust inside wall voids
- ✔️ Recommend sealing and moisture control steps
Argentine Ant Prevention in Coastal Areas
Argentine ants are small, dark brown, and travel in large, visible trails. Their colonies often stretch across multiple properties, especially in coastal and humid zones.
- ✔️ Perimeter sprays with growth regulators
- ✔️ Baiting along known trails and nests
- ✔️ Barrier creation between landscape and structures
How Ants Get Inside—and What Attracts Them
Ants are small, but their ability to enter your home is anything but. Understanding how ants get inside and what draws them in is the first step to keeping your home pest-free. At Blue Door Pest Control, we help South Florida homeowners seal up common access points and eliminate the sources that attract ants in the first place.
Common Entry Points for Ants
- ✔️ Cracks in walls, baseboards, or concrete foundations
- ✔️ Gaps around doors, windows, and sliding glass tracks
- ✔️ Plumbing lines, HVAC penetrations, and utility cables
- ✔️ Plants, firewood, or yard debris brought inside
What Attracts Ants Into Your Home
- ✔️ Sweet foods like cereal, fruit, and syrup left out or spilled
- ✔️ Grease and crumbs from pet bowls or unsealed food containers
- ✔️ Moisture from leaking pipes, sinks, or under appliances
- ✔️ Overripe produce or food left in trash bins
Want to stop ants before they start? Our trained technicians inspect your home inside and out to identify risk zones and entry points—then apply targeted treatments for complete ant control.

Common Ant Species in South Florida—and How We Eliminate Them
Different ant species require different strategies. At Blue Door Pest Control, we specialize in identifying the exact type of ant invading your home and tailoring our treatment to target the source. Here are the most common ants we treat across Jupiter, Lake Worth, Fort Pierce, Stuart, and surrounding South Florida communities:
Ghost Ants (Sugar Ants)
Small, pale-bodied, and drawn to sweets, ghost ants often appear in kitchens and bathrooms. Their nests are hard to track and move quickly when disturbed.
- ✔️ Gel baiting and perimeter treatment strategies
- ✔️ Focused crack-and-crevice applications in high-moisture areas
Fire Ants
Reddish-brown and aggressive, fire ants build mounds in lawns and deliver painful stings that can be dangerous to kids and pets.
- ✔️ Broadcast bait applications and mound treatments
- ✔️ Long-term yard protection with granular insecticides
Carpenter Ants
These large black ants tunnel through wood, often nesting in attics or behind walls. Left untreated, they can cause significant structural damage.
- ✔️ Non-repellent sprays and dusts in wall voids and crawl spaces
- ✔️ Moisture control and exclusion repairs to prevent reinfestation
Argentine Ants
Known for forming massive colonies with multiple queens, these ants move in long trails and are difficult to eliminate without professional help.
- ✔️ Targeted baiting to disrupt colony communication
- ✔️ Barrier sprays to stop trails and foraging behavior
Every home is different. That’s why we combine species identification, home layout analysis, and your family’s preferences to build a custom treatment plan that works.
How to Prevent Ant Infestations in Florida Homes
While professional ant control is the most effective solution, there are several things you can do to make your home less inviting to ants—especially ghost ants and Argentine ants, which are drawn to moisture and food sources.
Seal Common Entry Points
- ✔️ Caulk cracks in foundation walls, windows, and door frames
- ✔️ Install weatherstripping and door sweeps
- ✔️ Cover utility pipe entry holes and exterior vents with mesh
Eliminate Food & Water Sources
- ✔️ Store pantry items in airtight containers
- ✔️ Wipe down countertops and clean up spills right away
- ✔️ Take out the trash regularly and keep bins tightly sealed
- ✔️ Fix leaky pipes and use a dehumidifier in damp areas
Keep the Yard Clean
- ✔️ Trim vegetation that touches the home’s exterior
- ✔️ Remove leaf litter, firewood piles, and other debris near the foundation
- ✔️ Ensure gutters and downspouts direct water away from the structure
Ants are persistent, but a clean and sealed environment makes it much harder for them to settle in. If you're still seeing activity, professional ant treatment is your next best step.
