Why Ants Vary Across West Palm Beach's Neighborhoods
East of I-95, the 1920s- and 1930s-era homes of El Cid, Flamingo Park, and Northwood, the oldest in Palm Beach County, have a century of settlement that gives ghost and white-footed ants easy routes into kitchens and through the mature landscaping.
The C-51 Canal runs east-west through the city, keeping soil and landscaping moist year-round and feeding large colonies along its route. West of Military Trail, the 1970s through 1990s suburban lawns deal more with fire ants and big-headed ants in open, sunny turf.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get rid of ghost ants in my historic West Palm Beach home?
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 the 1920s and 1930s, homes of Flamingo Park and El Cid they follow moisture through a century of settled cracks 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.
What are the ants trailing through my mature landscaping?
Those are most likely white-footed ants, which build very large colonies in the established, irrigated landscaping common in West Palm Beach's older east-side neighborhoods. They trail up walls and foundations in steady columns, and the C-51 canal moisture helps them thrive. They are a nuisance rather than a stinging threat, but the colonies grow large if only the surface trail is treated. We treat the harborage in the landscaping at the source rather than chasing trails.
How do I handle fire ant mounds in my west-side 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 suburban lawns west of Military Trail, in communities like Forest Hill and Haverhill, give fire ants plenty of open, sunny turf. Our fire ant control reaches the queen, so the mound is eliminated, and 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.
Does the C-51 Canal make ant problems worse?
It can, because the C-51 runs east-west through the city and holds water year-round, keeping the soil and landscaping along its route moist enough to support large ant colonies close to homes. Properties near the canal tend to see more trailing ants indoors than interior lots. A perimeter barrier plus attention to where moisture collects against the foundation is the most effective approach for canal-adjacent properties.
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 historic home or a suburban lawn, 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 across a west-side lawn is scoped differently than a ghost ant trail in a historic kitchen. Many West Palm Beach residents choose the year-round pest control plan so that ants, roaches, and seasonal pests stay covered under a single schedule. We will lay out the options and let you decide.
How fast can you come out?
We typically schedule within one to three business days and prioritize urgent infestations, with same-week service common across West Palm Beach from the historic east-side neighborhoods to the suburban communities west of Military Trail. 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.
