Why Inglis homes get ants

The setting around Inglis does most of the work. The sandy soil over limestone holds the moisture the pests need, the coastal plains, wetlands, and flatland offers shelter, and the subtropical and tropical climate extends the active season. The homes near the the Atlantic, the Gulf of Mexico, springs, and lakes and the ones on the older streets with mature trees see the heaviest pressure, and the newer construction brings its own set of conditions.

Prevention tips for Inglis homeowners

• Wipe up crumbs and spills immediately.
• Store food in sealed containers.
• Seal gaps around pipes, windows, and doors.
• Trim branches that touch the house.
• Fix moisture issues that attract ants.

In Inglis, the homes that stay pest-free are the ones that stay on the schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How much does ant control cost in Inglis?

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

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 Levy.
