Why Ants Stay Active in Sunrise
Sunrise's western edge borders Markham Park's freshwater lake and the Everglades Water Conservation Area, which pushes fire ants into the open lawns of Spring Valley, Welleby, and the western communities.
The C-13 Canal and the retention lakes built into the HOA neighborhoods keep citywide landscaping moist, supporting large ghost and white-footed ant colonies near homes. The 1970s-through-1990s CBS homes have decades of settling that give ants easy routes indoors, and at Sunrise Lakes, the colonies can trail between stacked condo units.
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
How do I get rid of ghost ants in my Sunrise home or condo?
Ghost ants nest in many small satellite colonies, so spraying the trail you see only splits them into more trails, which is why store products rarely work. In Sunrise, they follow the moisture from the C-13 Canal and the community lakes indoors toward sinks and counters. Our ghost ant control uses baits that workers carry back to every nest, collapsing the whole network rather than a single line. Reducing indoor moisture and sealing gaps helps the treatment hold.
How do I handle fire ant mounds in my western Sunrise lawn?
Fire ant mounds need to be treated at the colony level, not just knocked down, because disturbing the surface drives the queen deeper and scatters the workers. The western communities near Markham Park and the Everglades Water Conservation Area get steady fire ant pressure in open, sunny turf. Our fire ant control reaches the queen, eliminating the mound, so we can broadcast-treat larger turf areas. Keeping kids and pets off a mound until it is treated is the safest course of action in the meantime.
Do ants spread between units at Sunrise Lakes?
They can, because the multistory condo buildings share walls, plumbing chases, and utility runs that ghost ants and other small ants use to move between units. That is why a problem on one floor often turns up a unit or two away. We treat harborage and shared pathways to address the colony at the source, and we coordinate with the condo association when a building-wide source is involved. We can provide service documentation for association records.
Does the C-13 Canal or the community lakes make ant problems worse?
They can, because the C-13 holds water year-round, and the retention lakes built into the HOA neighborhoods keep soil and landscaping moist enough to support large colonies close to homes. Properties near the canal or backing onto a community lake tend to see more trailing ants indoors. A perimeter barrier plus attention to where moisture collects against the foundation is the most effective approach for these lots.
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. If you have questions about a treated area, your technician will walk you through exactly what was applied and where.
How much does ant control cost?
It depends on the ant species, whether it is a single-family home or a condo, 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 lawn is scoped differently than a ghost ant trail in a condo kitchen. Many Sunrise residents 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. Same-week service is common across Sunrise from Spring Valley to Sunrise Lakes, and we coordinate with HOA and condo management when needed. 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.

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.
