Ants are among the most common pest calls in Southwest Florida. Spraying the trail you can see rarely solves it, and the wrong product can scatter some colonies. We identify the ant, find where it's nesting and why it's coming in, then choose a treatment that fits.
Who it's for
- Ant trails in kitchens, bathrooms or along baseboards
- Fire ant mounds in the lawn or beds
- Ants that come back after store-bought sprays
- Large black ants around wood, windows or the roofline
What's included
Identification
Species, nesting site and food or moisture source.
Entry-point inspection
Gaps, utility penetrations, door sweeps, plants and mulch touching the house.
Targeted treatment
Baits, exterior treatments or mound treatments chosen for the species and applied according to the label.
Prevention steps
A short list of non-chemical fixes: food storage, moisture, sealing and trimming plants back from the walls.
How it works
Most ant problems need a follow-up check, because colonies take time to decline after baiting. Your written plan says when that happens and what re-service terms apply.
Not included, or referred
- Do-it-yourself pesticide recipes or instructions
- Repairs to entry points (Uniform Handyman)
- Lawn-wide fire ant programs unless the company's license covers lawn and ornamental work
What affects the quote
You get a written recommendation and quote after an inspection. These are the things that move the number:
- Ant species and how many areas are involved
- Indoor, outdoor or both
- One-time service vs. a recurring plan
- Number of follow-up visits
More detail is in our Naples pest control cost guide.
Safety and instructions
Preparation, re-entry and pet or child precautions depend on the product label and the treatment plan for your home, so your technician gives them to you in writing for that treatment. We don't publish one-size-fits-all wait times. See treatment safety questions.
Why homeowners choose Uniform
Every technician who comes into your home has passed a guaranteed background check. You get a written treatment scope before work starts, a service record of what was found and applied, and the Uniform quality guarantee on the work in your agreement.

Frequently asked questions
Why do the ants keep coming back?
Usually because the colony, not the trail, wasn't reached, or food and water are still available. See why ants keep coming back.
Should I spray them before you come?
Please don't. Sprays can scatter some colonies and make identification harder.
Can you treat fire ants in the lawn?
Spot mound treatment is common. A lawn-wide program is lawn and ornamental work and needs that license category.
