Ghost ants are tiny, almost invisible, and love Florida kitchens. You'll see them trailing across your counter no matter how clean you keep things. They spread fast when sprayed the wrong way — and they're the number one indoor ant complaint in Davenport.
Carpenter ants are large, black, and show up at night near your windows and door frames. They tunnel through wood to build their nests — and they almost always mean there's moisture damage hiding somewhere inside your home you don't know about yet.
Sugar ants show up in long trails across your kitchen counter, around your sink, and inside your pantry. They're not there because your home is dirty — they're after moisture and sweet food. And they keep coming back until the source is treated.
White-footed ants are small and dark with pale feet — and they travel in long columns up your exterior walls, across your roofline, and into your attic. Their colonies can grow to millions of ants, making them one of the hardest species to fully eliminate.
Big-headed ants tunnel under driveways, pavers, and slab edges — pushing fine sandy soil up through the cracks. You might not even notice them at first. But left alone, they can undermine your hardscape and spread across your entire lawn and property.
Pharaoh ants are tiny, golden-yellow, and almost impossible to treat without professional help. If you spray them, the colony splits and spreads to every room in your home. They need a very specific bait-only approach — and getting it wrong makes everything worse.
