Inspection & Ant Identification

We pin down which ant is driving the problem, since the white-footed and acrobat ants that nest in Weston's mulch beds and ornamental trees behave very differently than the ghost ants that trail along counters and baseboards. We trace the colonies back to the landscaping and check the plumbing lines, garage thresholds, and sliding-door tracks where they slip into well-built CBS homes.

Targeted Treatment

For white-footed and acrobat ants, we use non-repellent baits that workers carry from the mulch and tree harborage back through the colony, rather than sprays that only break up trails. For indoor ghost ants, we bait the satellite nests so the whole network collapses rather than a single visible line in the kitchen.

Prevention & Exclusion

We seal the plumbing penetrations, garage gaps, and slider tracks that let ants into newer homes, and we set a perimeter barrier tuned to lakefront and wetland-edge lots. We also flag the mulch depth and irrigation overspray in HOA landscaping that keep these colonies supplied right against the house.

Why Weston's Manicured Landscaping Brings Ants

Weston's Arvida-planned communities are wrapped in deep mulch beds and mature ornamental trees, which are prime nesting sites for white-footed and acrobat ants, which build large colonies and trail up trunks, walls, and utility lines.

The 1,877 acres of maintained lakes and canals, and the 2,200 acres of wetland mitigation across the city, keep irrigation and soil moisture high, which feed those colonies and push ghost ants toward kitchens and bathrooms. Even Weston's well-built 1990s and 2000s CBS homes provide ants with entry points through plumbing penetrations, garage doors, and sliding glass doors.

"The ants disappeared within days of the first treatment."

Excellent service! The owner and his crew are professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain the treatment process while answering all of my questions. I highly recommend them.

Chris is great, Aaron is great, Mike is great. Very good company and they take the organic approach to treating your lawn. They always pick up the phone and let you know what’s going on. They are honest and let you know that this will be a process. Can’t complain.

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.

Southwest Ranches property means more bugs, but Royal Pest & Termite keeps termites and ants under control with their quarterly plan. Techs are respectful, thorough, and always on schedule. We've avoided major issues for over a year now. Reliable service for this area.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get rid of ghost ants trailing into my kitchen? 

Ghost ants nest in many small satellite colonies, so spraying the trail you see just splits them into more trails, which is why store products rarely solve it. In Weston, they thrive on the moisture from heavy irrigation and the lake and wetland network, then follow it indoors toward sinks and bathrooms. Our ghost ant control uses baits that workers carry back to every nest, collapsing the entire network rather than a single visible line. Cutting down standing moisture around the home keeps them from returning.

What are the ants nesting in my mulch beds and ornamental trees? 

Those are most likely white-footed or acrobat ants, both of which favor the deep mulch and mature ornamental trees common across Weston's landscaped communities. White-footed ants form very large colonies and trail up trunks and walls in steady columns, while acrobat ants often follow utility lines and tree limbs into the structure. They are more of a nuisance than a stinging threat, but the colonies grow large and persistent if left alone. We treat the mulch and tree harborage at the source, not just the trails you see.

Why do ants keep getting into my well-built CBS home? 

Even solid CBS construction has openings that ants exploit, including plumbing penetrations under sinks, gaps around garage doors, and the tracks of sliding glass doors. In Weston, these are the same routes the live area notes for ghost ants, because the landscaping that feeds the colonies sits right against the house. Sealing those entry points and treating the exterior harborage matters more than spraying indoors. We point out the specific gaps during the inspection.

Will an ant problem trigger an HOA notice in Weston? 

It can, since visible pest activity in common areas or on the exterior can draw a compliance notice in Weston's more actively managed communities. Staying on a recurring ant control schedule keeps colonies from building to the point where trails and nests become visible. It is far less disruptive to prevent the problem than to respond to a notice after it shows up. We can provide service documentation upon request from your HOA.

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, the size of the home, and whether you want one-time treatment or ongoing protection, so we give a clear quote after a free inspection with no pressure. A white-footed ant colony spread through landscaping is scoped differently than a ghost ant trail in a kitchen. Many Weston homeowners 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 Weston communities from Bonaventure to The Ridges. If ants are streaming indoors or building up in the landscaping, 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.
