Why Belleair homes get ants

The sandy soil over limestone that surrounds Belleair is the starting point. It retains moisture at the foundation line, which is what ants need to thrive. The coastal plains, wetlands, and flatland adds harborage, and the subtropical and tropical climate keeps the activity going through most of the year. Homes on slab foundations, with crawl spaces, or near the the Atlantic, the Gulf of Mexico, springs, and lakes see the heaviest pressure. The older neighborhoods and the newer subdivisions each bring their own pest profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why do ants keep coming back?

Ants follow scent trails, and the colony keeps sending workers until the trail and the food source are gone. The bait removes the colony, not just the ants you see.

Q: Are the baits safe for pets?

The bait is placed in the areas the ants travel and out of reach of pets, per the label. We point out the placements during the service.

Q: How long does the bait take to work?

The bait works over one to two weeks as the workers carry it back to the colony and it spreads. The visible trails thin out as the colony declines.

Q: Do you treat fire ants in the yard too?

Yes. Fire ant mounds are treated directly in the yard, and the treatment is timed to the mound activity in Pinellas.

Q: How much does ant control cost in Belleair?

Baiting runs $120 to $280 in Belleair, with a perimeter barrier from $100 to $220. Carpenter ant work runs higher because it involves finding and treating the nest.
