Common Ants in Southwestern Florida
In our region of the state, ants are a persistent problem, drawn to the comforts of our homes and lawns. These tiny troopers can range from merely annoying to fiercely destructive, making it crucial to identify which kind you've got on your hands. Knowing your enemy is the first step in crafting a precise plan to reclaim your turf from these unwelcome guests.
The ant types we frequently encounter in the Greater Naples area include:
- Carpenter ants - Recognizable by their large size and dark color, carpenter ants can cause structural damage as they create tunnels through wood to build their nests.
- Fire ants - These reddish-brown ants are aggressive and deliver painful stings. They build large, visible mounds in open spaces and are often found in sunny areas.
- Ghost ants - Known for their tiny size and pale coloring, ghost ants are tricky to spot. They tend to make trails along cupboard edges and love sugary foods.
- Argentine ants - Small and slender with a shiny brown appearance, these ants often form supercolonies and can invade in massive numbers.
- Crazy ants - With an erratic, swarming movement, crazy ants are often dark brown to black and invade both indoor and outdoor spaces.
With Sergeants Integrated Pest Solutions, we’ll perform a thorough inspection to pinpoint the exact kind of ant marching through your domain. Armed with this intel, we’ll devise a personalized treatment plan that contains all the methods and products to use to put an end to their occupation and restore harmony to your property.

What Attracts Ants?
Is there anything worse than an endless parade of ants disrupting your home? Unfortunately, there is – the fact that they’re present at all means they were attracted to something on your property. To prevent ants from returning in the future, it’s crucial to identify what drew them to your home.
Some common attractants for ants include:
- Food sources - Ants are on a relentless quest for sustenance, particularly anything sugary or greasy. Open food containers, spills, and crumbs can become ant magnets, leading a steady trail of these pests into your home.
- Moisture - Like many other insects, ants are attracted to water sources. Leaky pipes, damp areas, and even humid environments provide them with the hydration needed to survive and thrive.
- Shelter - Ants seek out secure, warm locations to build their colonies. Cracks in walls, spaces under appliances, and hidden crevices become perfect nesting spots, especially in cooler months.
- Landscape features - Mulched gardens, overgrown lawns, and untrimmed shrubs can create ideal conditions for ants to establish themselves outdoors and eventually make their way into your home.
- Entry points - Open windows, doorframes, and tiny gaps in the foundation serve as perfect entryways for ants to sneak in, turning your indoor space into their foraging ground.
By identifying and addressing these factors, you can reduce the chances of an ant invasion and keep your property ant-free. Sergeants Integrated Pest Solutions can also assist with advice on how to make your property less appealing to ants and perform regular follow-up inspections to make sure their population remains under control.
How We Address Ant Infestations
At Sergeants Integrated Pest Solutions, we've developed a detailed, multi-layered strategy to tackle ant invasions that can disrupt your peace. Understanding that effective ant control involves more than just tackling the worker ants, we address the entire colony, including those hidden away in the nest, especially the queen ant. This comprehensive methodology allows us to tackle the issue where it starts and prevent re-infestation.
The steps we take include the following:
- Thorough inspections - Our skilled technicians start with a detailed inspection to locate nests, identify species, and understand the extent of the invasion. This initial intel is vital in crafting a specific action plan for your unique situation.
- Eco-friendly bait stations - We strategically place bait stations that attract worker ants, which then carry the treatment back to the colony. This step helps weaken the colony from within, hitting where it hurts most.
- Mound applications - For outdoor ant invasions, we use a precise mound treatment to target specific species with an environmentally friendly spray that takes out the entire colony.
- Barrier treatments - Applying eco-conscious barriers around your property can help prevent ants from gaining access indoors. This includes treating entry points like windows, doors, and foundation cracks.
- Targeted spray applications - For those tough-to-reach spots in and around your home, we use eco-friendly sprays that are designed to be effective on ants while being safe for your family and pets.
Using products safe for your loved ones and environment, we focus on treatments that effectively target ants without causing harm to pets and children. With a delicate balance of strength and safety, our solutions are fatal to ants but nothing else. If you're ready to get rid of your ant problem, don't hesitate to give us a call!
