The most common inside pest complaint in Florida is ants. They can be a nuisance for any Florida home or business. Ants will infest almost any structure where they can find food and water. Leave a crumb of food or a juice spill unattended you may soon find ants busily moving back and forth around the food site and the surrounding areas. Their small size makes them difficult to keep outside as they are constantly foraging for food. When ants find food, they lay down a chemical trail, called a pheromone, so that other ants can find their way from the nest to the food source.

In addition to ants being unsightly they can sting (potentially causing death), damage lawns, contaminate food and spread disease.   In a business setting the presence of ants can cause loss of reputation and business.
