How We Handle Ants Across Broward County

Inspection & Ant Identification

We start by identifying which ant you have, because Broward spans a wide range: ghost and white-footed ants in coastal and heavily landscaped homes, carpenter ants in older and tree-shaded houses, and fire and big-headed ants in the western lawns near the Everglades. We tailor the plan to your property and city rather than using a single standard route.

Targeted Treatment

For the trailing ghost, white-footed, and sugar ants, we use non-repellent baits that workers carry back to the colony; for fire ants, we treat the colony mounds to reach the queen. This source-first approach is what clears a colony rather than scattering it.

Prevention & Exclusion

We seal the entry points around plumbing, slab edges, and aging sealant, and we set a perimeter barrier sized to your lot. We also flag the canal, irrigation, and landscaping moisture that keep colonies near the home supplied.

Why Ants Stay Active Across Broward County

Broward County's western boundary runs along the Everglades, which pushes fire ants and other species eastward into communities like Weston, Southwest Ranches, and Davie year-round.

More than 150 miles of drainage canals keep soil and landscaping moist countywide, supporting large ghost and white-footed ant colonies from the coast to the inland suburbs. The county's housing stock spans from Dania Beach's century-old homes to new western construction, so carpenter ants in aging wood and big-headed ants in fresh fill both turn up across different cities.

Just had a No Tent Termite Service completed today. I live in Miramar and wanted to use a local company. I am very satisfied. The process began 2 weeks ago with their Sales Representative Aaron Wilton. I am in sales so I recognize a professional. He was knowledgeable and presented options clearly without pressure including attractive payment terms. The 2 techs who preformed the service were Greg and Michael who were polite, through and efficient. I would certainly recommend Royal Pest.

We just had tenting done at our house. Chris and his team were amazing to deal with. Quick, efficient, and very communicative process. Simone at the main office is always willing and able to help! Highly recommend them for fumigation and tenting needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are ants a year-round problem across Broward County? 

Broward combines an Everglades western boundary, more than 150 miles of drainage canals, and a subtropical climate, so there is no seasonal off-switch for ant activity. The Everglades edge pushes fire ants and other species into the western cities, while the canal network keeps moisture high enough countywide to support large ghost and white-footed ant colonies near homes. Our ant control is matched to each property's species and conditions rather than a blanket approach. That is what keeps colonies from rebuilding after treatment.

Which Broward County cities get the worst fire ants? 

The western communities nearest the Everglades, including Weston, Southwest Ranches, Davie, and the western edges of Miramar and Pembroke Pines, see the steadiest fire ant pressure in open, sunny lawns. Mounds in these areas pose a real hazard to kids and pets, and disturbing one only drives the queen deeper. Our fire ant control reaches the colony and can broadcast-treat larger turf areas. We watch for new mounds drifting in from adjacent green space.

How do I get rid of ghost ants in a coastal Broward home? 

Ghost ants nest in many small satellite colonies, so spraying the trail you see only splits them into more trails. In coastal and canal-adjacent cities like Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, and Pompano Beach, humidity and irrigation are directed toward sinks and counters indoors. We bait the satellite nests so the whole network collapses instead of one line, and reducing indoor moisture helps the treatment hold. The approach is the same whether you are on the barrier island or a few blocks inland.

Do you serve my city in Broward County? 

Most likely yes. We serve all of Broward County from our central Miramar base, with dedicated pages for cities from Coconut Creek and Coral Springs in the north to Dania Beach and Hollywood in the south, and Weston and Southwest Ranches on the western edge. The city directory links to many of them, and we cover additional communities by phone. Call us to confirm service at your specific address.

Is your ant treatment safe for kids and pets? 

Yes. Pet and child safety is the reason this company exists, so every product and placement is chosen to control ants while keeping your family and animals protected. The business is even named after the owner's dog, which is why that promise is built into how we treat rather than added on afterward. Your technician will walk you through exactly what was applied and where.

How much does ant control cost? 

It depends on the ant species, the size of the property, and whether you want one-time treatment or ongoing protection, so we give a clear quote after a free inspection with no pressure. A fire ant problem on a western acreage lot is scoped differently than a ghost ant trail in a coastal condo. Many Broward homeowners choose the year-round pest control plan so ants, roaches, and seasonal pests stay covered under one schedule. We will lay out the options and let you decide.

How fast can you come out? 

We typically schedule within 1 to 3 business days and prioritize urgent infestations, and our central Miramar base gives us same-week access to every Broward municipality. If ants are streaming indoors or mounds are spreading, let us know, and we will move it up. You will get a clear appointment window, not an all-day wait.

What areas do you serve? 

We serve Miramar, Pembroke Pines, Davie, Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, South Palm Beach County, and most of Broward County, FL. We also service select areas in northern Miami-Dade County. Call us to confirm availability at your address.
