Why Beachfront Buildings in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Get Ants
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea packs older low-rise condos, vintage motels, and homes close to dense, irrigated sea grape and coastal landscaping, which is where white-footed ants build the large supercolonies they are known for. From the landscaping, the trails run up exterior walls and into units in long lines, while sugar ants and ghost ants work the kitchens and bathrooms indoors.
The older buildings and the salt-air humidity give them the cracks and moisture they need to keep moving 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 ants trailing up the outside of my building?
Those long lines on exterior walls are usually white-footed ants, which build very large colonies in coastal landscaping and forage up buildings in big numbers. They are mostly a nuisance, but the trails can be relentless on a beachfront condo or home. The nest is out in the plantings, not on the wall, so treating the trail alone will not stop them. We find and treat the colony at its source.
Why don't store-bought ant baits get rid of these ants?
White-footed ants are unusual: they do not share bait throughout the colony the way many ants do, so a typical store bait often barely dents the population. That is why people in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea can put out baits and still see heavy trails. We use professional products and methods suited to this species, applied at the nests and trails. Our ant control service is built for South Florida's toughest ants.
What are the small ants in my kitchen and bathroom?
Those are usually sugar ants or ghost ants, drawn indoors by moisture and tiny bits of food, especially in older units near the water. They nest in wall voids and landscaping, then trail to sinks and counters. Over-the-counter sprays often split the colony and make it worse. A targeted bait approach clears them at the source.
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 matched to the species, 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 Lauderdale-by-the-Sea inspections within one to three business days and prioritize urgent situations. If ants are trailing heavily up a building, tell us when you call, and we will do our best to move you up. Same-week service is common.
