Plantation's big trees are a favorite home for Florida carpenter ants. They nest in hollow limbs, old pruning wounds and damp wood, and they send foragers into nearby homes at night, often along branches touching the roof or wires running into the house. Ghost ants and white-footed ants trail in through windows, doors and plumbing, especially after rain. Leaf litter from the canopy gives them extra cover close to the walls.
Fire ants build mounds in lawns, swales and parks, and in Plantation Acres they show up in paddocks, arenas and along fence lines where they can sting horses and other animals. Big-headed ants nest under driveways and patios.

How We Treat It
Carpenter ants are traced to the oaks and damp fascia nearest the house and treated at the nest. White-footed and ghost ants get baits on their trails. Fire ant mounds in lawns and paddocks get individual mound treatment planned around your animals. Big-headed ants are treated along driveways. Gutters packed with oak leaves rot the fascia behind them, so we check those boards for carpenter ants. Leaf litter along the foundation is a cover spot for ghost ants. Mulch under the canopy is checked for ghost ant nests.
Carpenter Ants and Big Trees
If you see large ants inside at night, they're likely coming from a nearby tree. We inspect the trees closest to the house, treat nests where we find them and point out limbs or wires that act as bridges. Fixing roof or gutter leaks removes the damp wood they like. Gutters packed with oak leaves stay wet and rot the fascia behind them, which is exactly the kind of damp wood carpenter ants move into. Keeping gutters clear protects the house from both ants and water damage.
Fire Ant Mounds Near the Barn
On acreage, we treat individual fire ant mounds in the areas your horses and family use most, never the whole paddock, and we never spray animals. Check paddocks after storms for new mounds and don't disturb them. For homes in the canopy neighborhoods, white-footed ants often trail down from trees and palms onto the roof and in through soffit vents, so we treat the base of the trees closest to the house and bait along the trails we find. Ghost ants are more of a kitchen and bathroom problem, and they respond well to baits placed right where they're trailing. Big-headed ants show up as little piles of soil along the driveway and patio edges. Each needs a slightly different approach, and identifying them correctly on the first visit saves time and money.
What to Expect on Your First Visit
We'll identify each ant, check the trees closest to the house and give you a trim list. Acreage owners get paddock timing explained.
