Why Hollywood's Beachside Soil Draws Ants
Hollywood, FL's sandy, well-drained beachside soil is exactly where pyramid ants and sand ants build their nests, often in open sunny lots and along walkways near the beach. Indoors, ghost ants are the usual problem, trailing into kitchens and bathrooms in search of water and tiny bits of food.
The historic downtown bungalows and older beach-area apartments add the cracks and gaps that let colonies move inside.
Safe for Kids & Pets
Every treatment we apply is carefully selected to eliminate pests while keeping your children, dogs, cats, and other pets protected. Your family's safety is never an afterthought; it's the foundation of every service we offer.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the ant mounds in my sandy yard near the beach?
Those are often pyramid ants or sand ants, which build small crater-like mounds in the sandy, sunny soil common across Hollywood's beachside lots. They mostly stay outdoors but can trail toward the house. They are not aggressive, but heavy mounding is a sign of an established colony. We treat the nests and the surrounding soil so they do not spread toward the foundation.
How do I get rid of ghost ants in my kitchen and bathroom?
Ghost ants are tiny, pale ants that love moisture, so they trail into Hollywood kitchens and bathrooms toward sinks and dishwashers. They nest in wall voids and potted plants, and over-the-counter sprays often split the colony, making it worse. The fix is a targeted bait that workers carry back to the nest. Our ant control service is designed for the ants in South Florida.
Why do I keep getting ants in an older downtown or beach unit?
Hollywood's historic bungalows and older beach-area apartments have the settling cracks and gaps that give ants easy routes inside, and the surrounding landscaping and sandy soil keep colonies close. Treating only indoors leaves the outdoor nest feeding the problem. We treat the nest, create a barrier, and seal the entry points. That combination is what keeps them out.
Why do ants keep coming back after I spray?
Repellent sprays kill the ants you see but leave the colony alive, and can even cause it to split into more trails. We use non-repellent products and baits that workers carry back to the nest, which is what actually ends it. Sealing entry points and cutting off moisture and food keep them from returning. That is the difference between a quick knockdown and lasting control.
Is your ant treatment safe for kids and pets?
Yes, and it is the reason this company exists. We deliberately choose products that are effective on ants while being safe to use around children and pets, and your technician explains when it is fine to return to treated areas. Royal Pest & Termite is named after the owner's dog, so pet safety is built in. If a product is not safe enough for our own pets, it does not go in your home.
How fast can you come out?
We usually schedule Hollywood inspections within one to three business days and prioritize urgent situations. If ants are spreading fast, tell us when you call, and we will do our best to move you up. Same-week service is common.
