Fortress Termite & Property Care — Ant Control services in Fort Lauderdale

Ants in South Florida don't wait for warm weather, they're active year-round. We deal with trails coming in through baseboards, mounds showing up in the lawn, and colonies working inside walls where nobody can see them. The approach changes depending on which ant it is and where it's living.

Which ones you get here

Ghost ants: Tiny, pale, and they nest in multiple spots at once, so we're tracking several trails back to several colonies, not just one.
White-footed ants: They build satellite nests up in soffits, trees, and wall voids, which means ladder work and checking the exterior, not just the kitchen counter.
Carpenter ants: They've hollowed out damp or damaged wood to nest in it, so the job starts with finding the wood and finding the moisture source behind it.
Fire ants: Mound in the yard, treated outdoors, with a direct drench or bait placement right at the mound rather than along the house.
Caribbean crazy ants: They show up in huge numbers fast and don't follow a tidy trail, so bait placement has to go wider than usual.
Pharaoh ants: Sprays make these worse, they split into new colonies when disturbed, so it's bait only, placed and left to work.

What ant control involves

Trail and nest tracing: We follow the ants back from where you're seeing them to find where they're actually nesting, inside or out.
Identify the species: What we use next depends entirely on which ant this is, so we confirm it before treating anything.
Targeted bait or treatment: Bait goes at the nest and along active trails, or a mound gets treated directly, depending on the species.
Recheck the entry points: We look at where they got in, seal what we can, and check back that activity has actually stopped.

When you need it

A steady line of ants along a baseboard, counter edge, or windowsill.
A mound of loose soil showing up in the grass or along a walkway.
Small piles of wood shavings near a window frame or door jamb.
Ants that seem to scatter in all directions when you wipe them away instead of running one path.

What changes the job

Size depends on how many colonies are involved, not how many ants you can see. One trail in the kitchen might trace to a single nest under a slab, or to several nests scattered through the soffits and landscaping. Wood-nesting ants add another layer, since we have to find out why the wood went soft in the first place before the ant problem is actually solved.
