North Merritt Island's Colony-Elimination Ant Team

Contact spray disrupts the trail temporarily but rarely reaches the nest.

Look for bigger ants and fine wood-shaving debris — a byproduct of their excavation.

Bait transfers through the colony over one to two weeks, so expect a gradual decline rather than an instant stop.

We typically combine spot mound treatment with a wider bait application.

Bait removes the existing colony, and ongoing perimeter service reduces the odds of a repeat. A recurring perimeter visit every season is usually enough to keep new colonies from establishing near the foundation.

Bait sits in enclosed stations or protected areas specifically to limit pet and child access. Trimming vegetation that touches the siding removes an easy bridge past any barrier treatment.
